Story Book Quilt

Our temperatures have dropped drastically this last week, so I´ve been getting out the blankets and quilts.  This reminded me that when I saw my daughter this summer, I managed to take a few photos of a quilt that I made a few years ago for my grandson.  I have only ever made and finished about five quilts and this is by far my favourite one.

This is a children´s story book quilt based on the Bremen Town Musicians

 and the clever illustrations which captured my interest are by Petra Steinmeyer.

 The blocks are shown in order of the story.............Once upon a time...............

.an unhappy donkey left his owners as they considered him too old to work, and he decided to go to Bremen and be a musician...............

On the way to Bremen he met a dog who was too old to hunt.

A sad cat who could no longer catch mice....................

 and a cockerel which was going to be eaten for supper............

The four animals found a shelter for the night, but spied robbers inside...............

 they all made a terrible noise which scared the robbers...................

who ran away......................

and the four animals decided to make the shelter their home, living happily ever after.............

The End.

Hope you liked the story and quilt.  Until next week.
