I got bored doing regular selvage blocks and thought...how can i kick it up a notch.....flanges!! yes, i'll do flanges. where are my friends when i have these wild ideas......to talk me down. well, i only broke 1 needle quilting this one. haha
It is 45x60" and will be a veterans donation. i hope i don't give someone nightmares. It only waited 4 months to be quilted.
It quilted up much quicker than i thought it would. i went around the block and circled in and back out and on to the next....across the row.
There were 3 zipper blocks left over from another project, so they got included.
Inside the zippers is a surprise....this one has pink lace.
Backing is my wild tree fabric. there is only about a yard left of this, so you won't be seeing it much longer.....at least not as a back. I used it as the binding also. When i trimmed it, there was enough to make the binding, so figured i might as well use it for that instead of throwing it in the scrap box.
Top thread was Glide Bark; bobbin was So Fine Taupe
2 days left in the year.....2 more possible veterans quilts.
