This is a "Once Upon A Time" quilt from The Modern Quilt Workshop by Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr and it is for Aaron's aunt. She's going to be spending some time in the hospital so this quilt is for her to take with her. Hopefully it will brighten the room and offer her some comfort while she is away from home. The original plan was to use family pictures. However, there were some problems with the iron-on transfer paper -- the photos didn't always transfer and the fumes made me sick. It was decided that it would be easier to use "fun" fabric instead of photos.
Here it is all ready to be basted. The first quilt I made I sewed into the carpet. It was pretty discouraging to have to cut it off the carpet and re-baste it... And this was at my old apartment where the carpet had a very short pile. Foreseeing that I was doomed to baste this quilt into the shag carpeting, I made a large cardboard "sheet" to put between the quilt and shag carpet. Worked like a charm!
I've finished the quilting and the binding so I'll post a finished picture in the next few days.

Emily, that looks great, and it was really nice of you to do for Aaron's aunt. I can't wait to see the final picture.
