Daniel's Flag Quilt


Well, here is the first of the twin's quilts, I added extra blocks and four borders to make it fit a twin size bed- it measures about 78"x93".


Quilted with freehand Baptist Fan, the thread is a light tan so the quilting is subtle and the block design is the star!


It is even labeled, I applied the label before quilting so it's good and secure. I can't wait to see his face and help him put it on his bed!


The backing was a real deal at Bernina Connection Summer Sale, 75% off, and a nice flag design, a CW repro. I do need to launder the quilt with Synthrapol and Color Catchers, because I had half the blocks made when I realized that one of the reds is a batik and they throw dye like crazy.


Daniel's sister's Pleiades quilt is on the LA ready to quilt. I hope to start on that tonight, still haven't positively decided on a quilting design for it.

Daniel's Flag Quilt Top

Today I am linking up with Finished For Friday , Lush Friday, and Sew-n-tell


Whew, another top ready for the LA. I have a plan for quilting several tops next week - in between watching the beautiful baby Matthew, that is. I want to quilt this fairly closely, it has to stand up to the wear and tear of a five year old boy - this quilt is for a great nephew in Boston. It's larger than it looks in the photo, 80"x 92" and should be perfect for his twin bed and I have a few bits of fabric left so I might even make a pillow case or two.
