When my foster mother was wintering here earlier this year, she asked me to make graduation quilt tops for her twin grand-kids who will graduate in 2014.  If I made the tops, she would hand-quilt them – which meant I needed to get busy on them so she had time to work her quilting magic as it takes a lot longer to hand-quilt than it does machine quilt.  We chose the main fabrics out of collections from AbbiMays.com.  While she was still here, I also put together the designs for both of the quilts.  She liked what she saw and I got to work on them.  I didn’t finish her granddaughter’s until about a month ago, but she has it and is now contemplating how to quilt it.

Because Linda at AbbiMays.com is such a lovely person to deal with, we agreed I would write the quilt pattern for the quilt I designed for the fabrics she sent to me.

The *really* great part is that the pattern is FREE at BOMquilts.com, and you can purchase your quilt fabric kit for Lydia’s Quilt at AbbiMays.com, too!  Love when these types of relationships work out so well between the parties involved!  Here is a photo of the finished quilt:

Loved the geometric blocks and how quick and easy this quilt is to make – using both the strip quilting method and the chain piecing method!  Get your FREE quilt pattern at BOMquilts.com and purchase the beautiful quilt kit fabrics from AbbiMays.com today!
