I finished the hand applique and piecing in November of last year, so it hasn't waited too long to be quilted. I had a bit of wool pieces that were browns and neutrals, so i decided to use them here. Threw in a bit of color, also. It's about 67 x 80"
The background of the blocks are old feed sacks that i scored at a neighborhood auction some time ago.
This feed sack shows St. Louis MO on it. there are a couple other blocks that have some wording showing.
SID for everything....CC in sashings...meander and leaves in border.
Pulled out all my greens to cut for sashings
Some of the feed sacks still have the stains from long ago, too.
All stitched down with black embroidery thread.
Back is a flannel...light green with dots; binding a brown stripe.
Top thread was Glide White; bobbin was Bottom Line Tan.
