Quilt 2, a photo by Jane-Ace on Flickr. Though I said, "A Salute to Sweden", I suppose it was more like a "nod" than a "salute". The colors used were inspired by preferences I've noted in my daughter-in-law's interior design choices. She is of Swedish descent and I have noticed that there seems to be a calmness in the colors related to that nation's designs. Swedish fabric, though, was difficult to track down, so I used some Japanese prints again, as my son needed also to be represented in this quilt. The pattern is the same one I had used for my daughter's quilt, but the end product was quite different in tone. This made for an interesting discovery into the importance of fabric selection and how it contributes to the finished product.
Funny sideline was that just as I had made a grandiose explanation of how it was I was presenting my son and daughter-in-law with this "baby" size quilt with no intention of rushing them into a commitment to make me a grandmother any time soon, they presented my husband and I with a Happy Thanksgiving card, the signature of which is pictured below:
