Here is the whole quilt draped over the couch (except for the top which I cut off).
The most fun thing about doing a quilt like this is personalizing the blocks. Notice below is a heart angel and a kitty angel (of course). Remember you saw the kitty angel here.
This block represents me and my sister. Remember you saw these angels here.
These are the joy angels. Doing a Christmas banner of these angels is on my to-do list, maybe this year!
These flying angels Kim and I affectionately named the "Secretary Angels" as they were wearing dresses. We would hand applique these blocks during our lunch hour at the big conference table. The attorneys were quite amused (and I'm sure impressed) by our many talents LOL!
I love the variety of angels and the little filler blocks of friendship stars and flying geese.
Thanks for joining me on a trip down memory lane. I love these old quilts! Neither Kim nor I will ever forget the journey we had making our angel quilts.
Until next time, make something beautiful.-Karen

This quilt is lovely with all of the unique angels, and the memory of making it with Kim certainly does add to its charm.
