JARED TAKES A WIFE …. SORT OF
Posted By drsao on March 24, 2011
I love Bonnie Hunter (www.quiltville.com) and I love her quilts. One of my favorites is Jared Takes a Wife and the pattern is on her website.
I have a just made a MODIFIED version of Jared Takes a Wife…….it doesn’t have the sashing and cornerstones – but other than that, it is the same.
I named mine JB TAKES A WIFE because some of the plaids in it are from shirts that belonged to my mother and to my daddy. IT IS CALLED
JB TAKES A WIFE #1 because there is eventually going to be FOUR MEMORY QUILTS
(one for each of my brothers and one for myself.)
Everytime I go to Kansas City I stare LONGINGLY at my Daddy’s shirts….he has the BEST RED AND NAVY BLUE PLAID ONES and I keep hoping he will get tired of one or two and let me take them home! 🙂
Here is my JB TAKES A WIFE #1 – and Sara Parrish is going to do the quilting – I am so excited! (The cat inspecting the back of the quilt is none other than TONTO MORRIS! My DH named this cat!)

Love the pieced back on this – I have also started doing that. Another beautiful quilt from Shirley. You may never go back to work – you seem to be having a lot of fun. Judy C
