Texas Hills

This was an early quilt I made for my mother.  I had a software program that printed templates for blocks.  I would print them, pin them to fabric and cut them out.  (Like sewing patterns) without ever seeing how blocks might look!

My parents had retired to the "Hill Country" of Texas, so that is what I was representing in this lap quilt.  Texas is appliqued, the texas flag and state flower (bluebonnets) are on there as well.  I placed dates important to our family on the ground blocks, weddings and births.
Next time I visit I will try and get a better picture.  This is was taken with a 2006 Cell Phone!
