Crazy Veterans Quilt

 At the end of August I posted a photo of a bunch of

quilt blocks I had made from 1 1/2" strips of

reproduction fabrics left over from a log cabin

quilt I had made for my sister and brother-in-law.

I had just placed them on my design wall,

trying to figure out what to do with them.

Wanda from Exuberant Color, along with a couple of other quilters,

said to sew them all together and call it a day. 

This made my head hurt!

I love bold and wild quilts,

but they usually have some rhyme or reason to them.

After pondering for a while,

I decided I would do what they suggested.

 

 

 

Here is the finished quilt.

I don't hate it, but I'm not a huge fan, either.

Making these blocks was mindless fun, though.

 

Part of the problem is I don't like reproduction fabrics

anymore.  I went through a phase when I did.

Hence, the large collection of them.

 

 

I did as Wanda suggested and used flannel for the backing.

I quilted it with organic straight lines,

gave it a wash and it is ready to be donated

to the local Veterans Hospital.

Thank you, Wanda, for your advice!

It is a warm and snugly quilt!

Happy Quilting!
