More completions for 2014/2015

A gift for my Pops. The pattern is called Canasta from Monique Dillard's book "Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts. I called it "Playing Canasta in San Diego" because of fond memories of learning to play the card game from my Pops. 

 

 

The fabric was bought at Rosies Calico Cupboard and reminded me of San Diego.

 

 

 

Every year, Bonnie Hunter over at Quiltville hosts a free mystery every year.  She is a wonderful designer and offers so much to our quilting community.  Last year's mystery had its beginning from Bonnie's visit to Mackinac Island and a visit to the Grand Hotel.

This quilt was way out of my comfort level but as I did with Celtic Solstice, I learned a lot. Even with the picture, I learned a lot ... we aren't perfect as I now see an incorrect turn on one of the pieces. Its there to help me smile.
