Grandmother’s Fan Quilt for my Mom

by QuiltingbyDesign

000_0226.JPGMy mother is in her early eighties and does not surf the net, so I’m safe discussing her Christmas gift.000_0227.JPG
Pictured here, this is a double sided 60 inch square quilt meant to be used as a couch covering rather than a bed covering. She watches TV at night and needs something to cover her feet , but not so large that it falls to the floor. This size seemed perfect.
