Made this quilt for my daughter when she graduated college as a Marine Biologist. She LOVES anchors – and the colors were perfect for her (I copied very closely the colors of the sample quilt). The instructions were quite clear and the assembly went smoothly. I did add two borders – one of the three part beiges from the sashing of the blocks, the second, outer border was just the blue from the setting triangles. It turned out great – and can cover and twin or double/queen size bed. She loved it!!
Wonderful! We always love a success story! If you have a moment, please share a photo or two with us on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/FonsandPorter. We’d love to see your work!
