Patriotic Quilt Finish

 I have the first finish of 2022 and the first

quilt totally made in my new Hidey Hole.

The room is pretty much put together and 

I am thrilled.

I need to put up a peg board wall and my design wall

and that's it!

My quilting mojo is back now that I have a room to use again!

Back to the quilt...

This was a kit I had purchased long ago.

I don't know where, or when or why.

This is not my typical type of quilt to make.

The kit quilt looked like this...

I knew it would be donated, but it wasn't that large.

Vicki suggested donating it to the local

Veterans Hospital, but it needed to be larger.

When I decided to do this,

I added the borders.

What a difference they made in the overall appearance!

I decided to quilt it with a grid and get if finished.

It's been a while since I've quilted anything,

so easy was the name of the game.

 

 

It took an evening to get it quilted

and I worked on the binding yesterday

while it rained.

The binding strips had been cut for the smaller, no border version,

so I needed to add one piece.

I had enough of one of the fabrics used and added

that for a bit of a scrappy binding.

 

 

The backing came from my stash and used up all of the stripe

and most of the solid blue.

It will be washed and delivered to Vicki to add to the quilts they donate.

I'm linking to Design Wall Monday today.

Happy Quilting!
