Made using the fabrics from the Original Aurora Collection (by Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design), Forget Me Not finished at 76" by 100". The background is Glaze (Island Batik Neutral).
Forget Me Not uses one block, strip-pieced that creates a lovely secondary design when the blocks come together.

I am loving the gentle progression of blues and secondary designs in purple and green.

The batting is Hobbs Cotton/Polyester Blend. I quilted using my Walking Foot, following the grid in my favorite squiggly stitch. Why do I use it all the time, you ask. Because it is so forgiving. When the seams are not perfectly matched the squiggle brings them together.

A large quilt, Forget Me Not needed two people to model it.

Here they are. They are my friend's kids and they were properly compensated for their efforts.

| Love you both! |
And one last look, with my favorite model. He is speaking! Seriously, this is a silent role. My quilts do the talking.

| Thank you, Paul! |

At 33" by 36", Sky will most likely go to Premie Baby Quilts donation for the Inova Hospital in Fairfax.

Cute and bright giraffes on the back should fascinate some little guy!

These are strange times. I can't believe I have been saying that since 2020 or even longer. Each other is all we have. I am grateful for and to this community. Lots of Love & Squishy Hugs.
