Anita Shackelford pattern, machine applique, and long arm quilted by Karen Kielmeyer of Bella Vista, AR. Currently at home of Kate Jackson, Nashville, TN. Center block 36"x36", side blocks 18"x36", corner blocks 18"x18". I love the hugh scale of the applique, and the Pennsylvania Dutch color. Wool batting gives the quilting a bit more loft. Never won any ribbons, but did jury into the 2 person division in Houston in 2005. The leaves and stems are green, but a very dark green. The background yellows aren't really this bight. They are a bit softer. Not sure this isn't better.
