"Waves of Memories" was my third quilt, constructed from the clothes my son wore between the ages of 2 and 7. It is a twin-sized bed spread that my son has been using for the past 7 years. It was pieced from a "Charmed Ogee" template with attempts at alternating light and dark blocks. The border is green broadcloth with burgundy binding. The backing was pieced with green, burgundy, and dusty blue broadcloth. A tulip template was followed for quilting in the corners. Otherwise, the rest of the quilting involved stitching in the curvy ditches. This quilt was started around January of 2001 and completed around June of 2001, and given to my son as a gift.
Lessons learned: Use safety pins for basting, not thread, and always start quilting from the center. Be careful when piecing different fabric types. This quilt involved attaching cotton to spandex to flannel to polyester...

That pattern looks so complicated, especially with the different types of fabric.
I can see that it well loved, too.
