Last year, my sweet friend Margie welcomed her first grandbaby and will henceforth be known as "Gigi". The occasion had to be marked with a special quilt, one to be kept at Gigi's house for all the future grands. Here's to many more, Margie!

| Margie's Meadowland |
The pattern is Meadowland by Then Came June. It's one of my favorites. This is my second version, and I already have plans for a third. I treated myself to a 4x8 Bloc Loc flying geese ruler for this pattern. I can't recommend it enough. 😍 The pattern is FQ friendly and produces very little waste.
I pieced the top at our 2025 quilt retreat. We used these tables for layout work, and then looked down at it from the balcony to get a bird's eye view. This always becomes a group effort - one or two arranging blocks while the others chime in from the landing. 😂 Works for us.

Here it is hanging from the balcony with other completed tops at retreat. I used a long-hoarded half yard bundle of Charleston by Amy Sinibaldi and some Art Gallery blenders. I'll just love this collection.

| Quilting by Michelle 💗 |
Michelle did a fantastic job quilting it for me. I'm amazed at what she can do with some rulers and freehand magic. I love how the tiny stippling makes the orange peels pop.

Margie's Meadowland finished at ~ 48" x 64" and was gifted in May 2025 from 100% stash!!! (yay me!)
Beautiful quilt and great gift. My DH always tells me to view block layouts from a bird's eye view. I have two square bloc loc rulers and love them. Yay you for 100% stash!!
