I took down a storage box from a closet that has been there, unopened, since we moved into this house. Inside are unfinished quilt tops. It was a treasure trove of things I had forgotten about.

| This quilt uses William Morris print fabrics in muted purple, silver and greys with metallic. |

| A needle-turned hand appliqued folkart quilt from a pattern. It uses mostly plaids and and some flannels. The border is a cotton print. The pattern is by Jan Patek and Alma Allen called Millennium Garden. |

The photo doesn't do this justice - it's a deep rich burgundy with tan, and black with gold metallics. What's very interesting is the variety of fabrics. There is that border print, African fabrics, a novelty print, some Smithsonian fabric and even a Debbie Mumm fabric.

This last one, named 'Ursus Abstinere' also had a backing made with a label. It says made in July of 2001. I loaded Ursus onto my longarm, Eduard, and started quilting it. I love it!
