Hello Cuties! I trust all of you are well. I've got another quilt done. This one I went ahead and quilted myself. I talked with one of the QOV members today and told her I make it up in my head and start cutting and sewing. My husband helps me cut by holding my rulers from slipping. I told her sometimes he is at a loss not knowing what I'm doing, but I told her, sometimes I don't know myself-lol-until I do it. lol
Anyway, as you can see I used the floating star block like in the Gold Twin Star quilt. I also saw pictures of flags done with different strips of red and white. I had this blue star fabric, I used to frame up the panel that was wonky, so I used it in my flag too. I like the end result and hope you do too. The back is done with the same fabric as the background on the top. It's a tan with navy stars if you can see. The size came out 63 x 84, after quilting.
I told the lady I was speaking to, I had some of these fabrics left from other quilts and some yardage she had given me. As long as I have fabric I will keep making.
I told her I hate to say it, but I could be quarantined for years and stay busy with all my stash. I make personal quilts out of my own personal stash for a while and I make QOV out of my QOV stash. I am not bored anyway. Staying busy helps pass the time. I told my husband the weeks have been flying by, for me right now anyway.
Hope you all stay safe-Best wishes to all-Toogie
I did make 3 tops and quilt this one in 15 days. Remember though I am retired and my husband and I are staying home. My niece ask me how I can just go gro shopping every 6 weeks. I told her I buy enough when I go out and even though I cook everyday and sometimes we eat leftovers, it’s just the two of us. So I can sew the rest of the time. I ask hubby to play rummy so he is entertained but he rather watch reruns😩of Gunsmoke.😂
