Shauna brought a quilt she finished about 12 years ago.  Vonda requested seeing it again and vows to someday make one of her own! Glenda bought this quilt at the Grand Junction Show for a mere $90.  She always wanted to make one of her own.  Beautiful Fabric!   The Back is a beauty in and of itself!

The back of the quilt is done in an Ombre.
