City Slicker #3
Background
A while back, March 2010, Barbara purchased the fabric and pattern book for the quilt design StrataVarious. However, she never seemed to really have any interest in the pattern. So, this past May, she decided to use the materials to make another City Slicker lap quilt — hence #3.
Most of the fabrics were purchased on March 19, 2010. Some additional fabric was purchased on April 30, 2011. Work on the quilt began on May 6, 2011. Barbara picked it up from Catherine Hanna, of The Quilted Garden, on August 24, 2011 after it was professionally quilted by Catherine.
Barbara then tackled the binding on the quilt. It was finished September 12, 2011.
2022: this was the first quilt Matt selected during his and Tyler's visit in 2022. It is now in Ottawa with them. As well as Stacks and Tapestry.
Backing fabric
Talk about "subtle". This fabric breathes that word. The backing fabric is a chenille called "stars & moon". Seems to suit the quilt.
