Barbizon Quilt



Decades ago there was a Barbizon Nightgown factory in Provo.  They sold their scraps of fabric for next to nothing, and everyone made Barbizon Quilts.  The fabric was light, with delicate colors.  As a newlywed I started one, but only finished it in 2009 when we were cleaning out to get ready for our mission.  It is a basket pattern.  At the time I knew nothing about 1/4" seams, and little about matching points on triangles.  But I began to learn.
I had Virginia Gore machine quilt it for me after I left for our mission.
