 Libby Dudley -- Rose Garden Celebration

"This was made from tiny triangles found among fabrics donated to MVQU years ago.  Ro Coller encouraged me to 'do something' with them.   It took years, but here it is.  And there are still bits left over.  The 'briar' look of the quilting helps cover a multitude of imperfections."

an original pattern.

The label reads

"Pete Falk's gas station, circa late 1940/early 1950s. Located at the corner of County Road 1 and Highway 60, Mountain Lake, Minnesota.  Pete is leaning against the building, right hand side.  I found this black & white photograph in my mom's collection, which inspired my quilt/project."
