Friendship Blocks Quilt
The binding wasn't even completely on when this Irish Chain Friendship Block quilt was lost and stolen. Judy Calvert was still in the process of finishing up the hand sewing on her light brown and deep red quilt. On March 9, 2001 it apparently fell off the cart in the hallway of the Embassy Suites hotel in Southcenter (Seattle), Washington. Unfortunately it was never found and it was not turned into the hotel's lost and found.
This king-size quilt has about seventy-five 4-1/2", multicolor, friendship blocks which were made by dear friends. A single Irish Chain, shown to the left, surrounds each block which were set on point. Side squares were set straight. The quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted. The binding had been sewn on one side but it was not completely hand finished when it was lost. The quilt did not have a label yet and Judy does not have a picture.
If you have found a quilt that fits this description, please contact Judy at [email protected].
