I found these small blocks in my Aunt Sophie stash from years ago. i thought they were cute ... they show the front and the back of the snowmen. they have army, marines, firemen, police. i wasn't really sure what to do with them but figured it was time to do SOMETHING.
So, i just put them togeher in a small quilt top.
The red, white, and blue sashing strips were in the last truckload of fabrics that i bought.
It takes a minute to realize that these are snowmen.
So, this will be the back of the small quilt ... or wallhanging
I wish there would have been more of them.
It would have made a cute kid's quilt
It is pretty small, but i am thinking that i might send it with my husband the next time he goes to his VA appointment. perhaps they would like to hang it in the VA clinic. brighten some veteran's day.
I have seen a tutorial on how to make a sleeve that goes in the middle of a quilt and i'll have to do it that way so it can be hung in an opening .... where both sides can be seen.
It's now in the to-be-quilted cabinet, but it won't be done ...
tomorrow

You could put tabs in the top of the quilt, then it would hang down and you would be able to see both sides. Like tabs for curtains.
