Another Quilt

I sewed two other quilts for my daughters in the past year.  For one of them, I took a class to learn how to make a Perkiomen Valley quilt.  This is a traditional quilt from southeastern Pennsylvania, designed by German Mennonite women in the 19th century.  It is a scrappy quilt using whatever small pieces of fabric a person might have.  In our class we exchanged fabric so we would have quite a variety of colors.  The pattern represents the river and hills in our part of the country.  Liana loves pink, so I call this Springtime in the Perkiomen Valley.
