The IMQE has been a lot of fun for my partner and me. When I first learned that Maria Rosaria Roseo lived in Rome I was so excited! I love visiting Rome and how lucky was I to have a new friend that lived there! When Maria Rosaria showed me photos of her quilts and her work with the Roman School of Quilting, I was even more excited. Here was a quilter like me! Maria Rosaria and I agreed we didn’t want to do traditional miniatures. We are both followers of Jean Wells and her work. We decided to make each other a miniature quilt with the influence of Jean Wells. After reading through Jean’s book “Intuitive Color and Design” I decided a log cabin innovative pieced quilt was perfect for the IMQE challenge and for Maria Rosaria. I chose my fabrics, hues of primary colors and went to work! This was a fun quilt to make and I am honored to be able to give “To Rome With Love” to my friend, Maria Rosaria!
