When we lived in England John had a coworker who was king of
barbecues. This fellow had a roasting box big enough to accommodate a fully
grown pig, which he procured from a local butcher. (This is completely beside
the point, but if you’ve only ever lived in the United States, you probably
have no idea what real pork tastes like. Pigs here are deliberately bred to
have less fat and harvested early to cut costs. The result tastes a bit like
dry chicken.) When the barbecue king and
his wife were expecting a little boy I made this baby quilt for them. I used a
charm pack (a stack of five inch squares) of Aunt Gracie prints from American
Jane line for Moda fabrics. The almost-but-not-quite white background was leftover
scraps of Kona Snow. The sashing, border, backing and binding were ordered by
mail from The Fat Quarter Shop, who didn’t mind shipping to an APO.
