Miss Butterfly B's: Verna Quilt Process

Verna Quilt Process

Posted by Erin Jeffries

Hello friends! My "VERNA" Quilt is coming along. I have had some time to sew on it lately. This quilt is my quilt I designed for my month hosting the quilting bee I am in. A quilting bee is made up of 12 ladies that each take a month of the year to host. When it's you month to host you design a quilt block and mail out fabric packs to the other 11 members. They get your fabric and make you a few blocks for your quilt. Then they mail the completed blocks back to you to sew together. My quilting bee quilt is called Verna. I finally sewed all the blocks together for the front. I then designed and pieced a very unique quilt back. Here are some photo's of this quilt process. Enjoy! I can't wait to quilt this! Any suggestions for a quilting pattern? Email me Erin@missbutterflybs.com
