Guilt By Association from caledonia quilter

Janice and I are spending our last five days in Italy quarantined in our hotel room. Because I have Covid. I tested positive on Friday morning, and yes, I feel like total crap. I've had the worst headache, that does not want to go away without drugs. Tylenol to the rescue. Janice is NOT sick, but because she's traveling with me she is automatically considered infected too.

I'll share a bit of our LAST day out...

The 5th was a free morning so we wandered around town, went to the post office so I could mail some ...

Genova - Liguria - Italy from caledonia quilter

The hotel we're in was built in 1897 (we think - it might have been 1891?). It has operated as a hotel that whole time and was the first hotel here. They still use the old phone.

A warning - my husband took lots of "tourist-y" shots, of the architecture and stuff. Most of my pictures were of things that caught my eye, like this fabulous camel...

Doesn't he have the funniest expression on his face? Or how about this prime example of parking in Rome...

We saw a lot ...

A Wedding in Italy from Ann Quilts

A flash of inspiration birthed this quilt. It celebrates the wedding of two of my daughter's super super good friends.

They married last fall with a destination wedding in Italy, a gorgeous setting. This quilt is my rendition of a photo taken on The Day.

The inspiration continued throughout the design and construction. Having decided on the layout, and enlarged and traced the photo, I had my pattern.

Then I started choosing the fabrics. The right ones just flew into my hands. I made only one edit!

That's a pretty good omen, don't you think?

Construction details ...
