i'm going to share all of the quilts from my book, quilts made with love.
my goal is to share one quilt a day.
today's quilt is farsighted.
everyone gets a little homesick, but wrapping up in a quilt can be so comforting.
i love pairing busy fabrics with a simple design.
this quilt would make any college student feel right at home.
quilt stats:
size = 60 1/2" x 60 1/2"
fabric = terrain and cuzco by kate spain for moda
piecing = rachel griffith
quilting = darla padilla
pattern = farsighted from quilts made with love
dorm quilt or not, this is a fun quilt to make. (and give!)
xo, rachel

I love the name of your quilt. I am so, so farsighted, it is not funny. In November, the only neruo opthamologist in the state, told me he could not make glasses thick enough for me to see to read up close. So, I knew my only option was surgery. I had surgery in late November. Now, I have a new Rx for glasses. I can see to read and cannot see to drive with my glasses. I can take my glasses off to drive. However, that was not the goal since I have astigmatism. So, tomorrow I make the 100 mi trek (provided there is no more snow and the roads are passable) to get my prescription tweaked. You are absolutely - a college student would absolutely love a quilt such as this. My "children" are in their 30's and are hinting for mom to make them quilts now. My son is still using a store purchase quilt from when he was in junior high. I think it's time for mom to get busy. Thanks for sharing the eye candy every day. It is inspiring!
I love this one Rachel. I've got several big pieces I've not wanted to cut and this would be perfect.
Great as a huge quilt sized block or smaller! Love it.
