Childhood Memories

What a fantastic quilt, made from reclaimed family clothing !  We love the giant flowers and colorful butterflies. Flowery half-Dresden plates adorn the borders.

Childhood Memories by Caroline Ellermann, quilted by Glenda Davis


Caroline Ellermann says, "The quilt was created from my granddaugher's childhood dresses.  A larger quilt for my daughter-in-law was made with the Garden Party pattern and t his quilt emerged from four left over blocks."  Pattern source: The Garden Party pattern by Laura Heine, which was modified.  

A kaleidoscope effect was created in the border by fussy-cutting the fabric for the Dresden plates.

Check out the Tula Pink squirrel, and the broderie perse flowers, in the closeup photo below! 

Also, Glenda Davis did a beautiful job with the quilting.
