Our final quilter in this group is Caitlyn Fluke. Caitlyn found a new love as she crafted her cute and fun Honey Bouquet quilt. Her patterns included some of her favorite colors and designs that were sewn to perfection. With careful precision, (although working with pins and needles wasn't her favorite job), Caitlyn created her own work of art that reflects her personality and her shabby-chic style! Her quilt will be displayed at her graduation reception and will match perfectly with her décor. Her quilt will come in handy next fall as she attends Presentation College in Aberdeen. Awesome job, Caitlyn!

Our next quilter is Nikki Koehler. This was Nikki's first time making a quilt. The pattern is a "square dance" pattern. It is made with four different small pieces of fabric sewn together to form one large square forming the quilt block. Nikki chose blues, greens and pinks for the main colors of her quilt. The beautiful patterns of the fabrics really add extra elegance to her quilt.  Nikki also put two different borders on her quilt to give her the extra length. Nikki's quilt will come in handy as she attends the University of South Dakota next fall. Great job, Nikki!
