Description

When I first saw Bernina’s Anniversary quilt I just “needed” to make one. I went as far as telling my husband that I “must” purchase the Anniversary 880 so I could get all the goodies and the kit for this quilt. I knew I couldn’t really do that because I just purchased the Bernina Q20 to add to my Bernina family, 830 and 580. I was a very happy quilter when I learnt that this was going to be a free quilt-along open to anyone. Thank you Bernina and Amanda. Being house bound because of a knee replacement, I decided to use fabric from my stash. I hobbled to my stash room and pulled out various color combinations. This process took me all day, but I finally found what was to me, the perfect fabrics with the correct yardage. (It took me another day to clean up the massive pile of rejected fabric.) I picked shades of gray and white with a little gray in it for the background and border.
