Summery and pastel flag blocks. Hand quilted with big stitch , # 12 perle cotton and a Sashiko needle.
18 light and airy blocks! Fun! Now I have a second top almost the same to baste and quilt!

A garden gate quilt
A charming pattern, was it from "Country Threads?" I forget....But since I had a garden gate like this and a black cat who could strike the same pose, I was compelled to make this one!
However, it was a very HOT summer that year...
2000....I chose cool and frosty colors for my Garden Gate quilt. The orange traditional pumpkin turned into a "ghost" pumpkin...a pale white/green orb. I used lots of blues and lavenders...and turned my red and white flag stripe fabric to the "wrong" side for a paler frosty effect. I liked the morning glory block so much, that I ended up making and selling a morning glory quilt* later that summer.
