The Camp Fire Quit pattern by Suzy Quilts, but I like to call it the friendship quilt. I did not make the quilt top, a friend gifted it to me. She was making it with the intention of making the quilt into a wall hanging for her sewing room but something was not clicking for her and lost interest on finishing it. She offered to me and I happily took it off her hands. I think the pattern is beautiful and the colors she chose are stunning. I absolutely love it. To finish the quilt I backed it with this sweet orange gingham fabric that was gifted to me by another friend; her mom who was downsizing her sewing room and my friend kindly set aside a box full of fabric as well as the lofty batting that I used for the quilt and gave it to me. As you can see, basically all the materials for this quilt came from friends. The binding fabric is the only thing that came from my stash. Hence my decision nickname this the friendship quilt. I used a crosshatch pattern to quilt it and I love the texture that it gives to this quilt.

This quilt now hangs in the quilt ladder in my sewing room. I love that every time I look at it reminds me of friends. And at the same time it is fulfilling its purpose that it was originally created for… a wall hanging for a sewing room.

Wishing you a lovely week. Until next time.
