Folk Art Blocks

An UFO from September 30, 2013 is now finished. i think these blocks came from my Aunt Sophie....i got all her stash when she could no longer sew. it is 70x85".

I had some fullness issues in the middle, so there are some puckers here and there.

The back is a brownish gray that was in the stash...just enough for the back.

The quilting shows more on the back than on the front

Top thread was a Peach Glide...bobbin was a gold Bottom Line

Binding is the same fabric as the geese in the flying geese. i'm happy to have another one out of the to-be-quilted cabinet. next up are a couple of baby quilts for my sister.
