I made this quilt in memory of my friend Jan.  Shortly after she died, her husband wanted me to go through her sewing room and take whatever I could use.  I came away with a large bin of Aunt Grace fabrics, and they are the inspiration for this quilt.  I loved the cheery, bright yet subdued colors of these fabfics, and feel that this quilt pattern shows off the beauty of these fabrics. There is a calm, reflective, yet cheerful, quality to this quilt, and I am always reminded of Jan when I look at it.
