Hi Cuties! Someone in my sewing group passed these small panel squares, with the Flag to me a good while ago. I figured it was time to make a quilt with them. One square was already cut off, so the panel had the large flag and 8 little printed squares. I don’t know what the panel was called, but with the apples in the basket and other pieces, reminded me of a country fair, which then I thought of Hole in the Barn door to frame the squares and the alternate fabric. See how my mind runs-lol Anyway, I figured to get my normal, at least 60x80, QOV size. However when it came to cutting my borders I couldn’t cut them as wide as I had planned, using leftovers, so I’m a little short at 79.5. I don’t think the veteran will notice-lol Width is good at 65. With the printed brown fabric I used and lying on my floor, I told hubby, it really does look like a hole in the barn door-lol

I still have a ‘head’ for good figures even though the ‘body’ has no good figure-lol- to put this altogether. Wishing you all a great day! Toogie

I agree, amazing! And very different from your 'normal' work.

Thank you mops, have you tried my direction of quilting yet? I would love to see any of your quilts. I am always interested in your work.

No, as I've been with my daughter. We did sew a lot and tried out the embroidery unit - and (of course) I had to make quite a few embroidery designs for her. And I am halfway through knitting a colour work jumper (by a Norwegian designer).
Flying back next Thursday, stay a couple of days at my son's for the birthday party of a granddaughter and the garden will be a small wilderness when I get home on Sunday.

Toogie this is another beautiful quilt that yet once again you have created from fabric from someone else. I admire your creativity and the speed of your creativity

Thanks, I needed to make it up but it don’t wow me like some I’ve done. Maybe when it’s quilted, we will see.
