A Gusty Day by Bessie Barnett
The featured quilt of the week in the March 7, 2010 edition of the Start Your Week With a Quilt newsletter is my all time favorite quilt for the month of March. The quilt is called A Gusty Day, and it was created by Bessie Barnett.

Winter just seems like it doesn’t want to let go of Atlanta this year. We had snow of all things last week! Bessie’s quilt captures the essence of a March day with her beautiful applique of a woman taking a walk on a windy day.
We know Mother Nature will work her March Magic soon, and the cold weather will magically disappear. Warm sunshine and beautiful flowers are just around the corner.
