Willie’s World: A Forever Friendship Quilt™


One of the most satisfying aspects of quilting is to give a quilt to a friend to commemorate a special occasion. Willie’s World is such a quilt. It was given to my friend Willie as a wedding gift.

The quilt has a log cabin center with a village border. The border depicts aspects of Willie’s life including his humble beginning in Savannah, Georgia, his graduation from Harvard Law School, and of course, his marriage to his lovely bride.

The quilt measures 88 x 88 inches. It was quilted by Sylvia Davis and embroidered by Maxine Moore.
