Empty Nest - Two
85" X 93"
This Quilt was made from the leftover fabrics from my first "Empty Nest" Quilt. It has 255 3 5/8" Ohio Stars Pieced from reproduction fabric. The border quilting design was trapuntoed using YLI Wash-A-Way water soluble basting thread. I enjoyed the first "Empty Nest" quilt so much, that I am making one for each of our three sons and their families. The name came when our youngest son, Rich, left home to attend College. Pattern from "Legacies of Love" by Susan H. Garman. Completed February 22, 2002
