Happy Birthday, Rory! marks his 40th

#45/100
2006

Happy Birthday, Rory! is number 45/100 of the African Canvas Memory Quilt© series. It measures 31 inches x 41 inches. This quilt was made for a special friend’s 40th birthday.

Rory, who happens to be a lawyer, loves basketball more than anything. That is why the quilt has a basketball theme. The back of the quilt is a bright blue basketball motif with the basketball goal on fire. The theme is carried forward on the front of the quilt with basketball appliqué. The fact that Rory is a lawyer could not be ignored, so you will find the word “courthouse” on the front of the quilt as well. The binding and the sashing are blue.

Happy Birthday, Rory! was finished in August, 2006.
