Hi Cuties! Today is my sewing group ‘Bobbins’ meeting. I just finished this one and am taking it and the unpopular Mount Rushmore Marine quilt, with me to give to Lynn for quilting. It came out a little bigger than I usually make for veterans , at 68x86 inches. No pattern but it’s about a 36 in carpenter Star before framing and all my squares were cut at 5 inches. I was unsure to use the gold fabric, but after Scheila & Sharon both agreed & Scheila said, ‘ Go for the gold’, I kept it.- lol ( showing a picture without the gold fabric too.) I thought I liked it without the gold but since keeping it in and finishing, I think I like it. It will go to a Marine veteran, since two of the fabrics are marine prints.

Have a nice day! I’m keeping you all in prayer-❤️Toogie

Wow, and Wow again, it would absolutely drive me crazy to put this quilt together. You are the master. Your Veterans you are donating to will feel the love and appreciation they all so fully deserve. Thank you for your service to them. I have loved each quilt you have made.

Thank you- when I have ideas floating around my mind sometimes doesn’t let me sleep-lol
I started cutting this out at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon. I sewed till bedtime ( midnight for us-lol) stopping to eat and clean up kitchen. Got up about 8 am and sewed all day, till midnight when I finished it yesterday , Wednesday. I wanted to bring it to the quilter today, Thursday, so I needed to get it done!

How fun. I like the gold, it is a nice addition but I like it without the gold too. Very nice design.

I thought at first the gold stuck out like a sore thumb. Now I think it gives the quilt just the right pop! Thanks
