Eclipse Charity Quilt: Trip to Jacksonville
Edward manipulates Bella into a fight with Charlie in order to get her to get out of town after one of Alice's visions. He spirits her away to visit her mom in Jacksonville, Florida, using the airplane tickets that Esme and Carlisle gave her as a present for her ill-fated 18th birthday.
On the plane trip back home Bella thinks back to a moment during the visit. Bella and Renee escape for a walk and drift into a mother daughter conversation....
...This morning we'd gone for a walk along the beach....
Renee and I ambled along the sidewalk, trying to stay in the range of the infrequent palm tree shadows.....
There's something .... strange about the way you two are together, she murmured, her forehead creasing her troubled eyes. The way he watches you -- it's so ... protective. Like he's about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something. ... (Eclipse, p 66-67)
Block details:
7" block, 8" with white frame
I used the free Paper Panache airplane pattern and combined it with a pattern from the Linda Causee's 24 Tropical Quilt Blocks. (I previously purchased this book with Breaking Dawn quilt blocks in mind.)
I hand embroidered the "Visit Jacksonville" in the upper right corner for a postcard effect and added personal touch.
I especially like the green fabric I used for the palm tree leaves. I also like the "striped" water.
