Thanks ! As a Civil War era repro. it has lots of personality. To me it evokes the huge sense of loss and
sadness of that war ...so much blood ...so much darkness....but I chose the acorn and oak on the back
just to show that strength and courage prevails.

So much for the soapbox !

That's a perfect description of your quilt Marilyn! I didn't realize you had scaled down the size of the blocks. It's amazing. You're very talented and fast too!

I love your colors. I have not participated in this class and project, but I have sure enjoyed seeing everyone's progress and finished quilts. Lorna

loise98 OFFLINE Posts: 2932 Thank you received: 267	Marilyn, Your quilt is lovely. The red is perfect and I like the backing. Am I remembering correctly that you made the quilt smaller? What are the finished dimentions?

idaho OFFLINE Posts: 2531 Thank you received: 183	Well, here it is finished ! red binding and all ! Blocks were SIDed then a center element was quilted around and the border, stippled with a star in each corner. I flipped a corner over to show the backing...an oak leaf and acorn. I'm glad I did this project !

Enjoy your guest/s - hope there are no stray needles and pins lying around

By the way, what's an iFad? Is it similar to a diddle-y-iPod? (That's a musical device that only plays traditional Irish music.)

So do I on the pins & needles front :shock: I call it my ifad, because it is much cheaper, and I desperately wanted a tablet computer to play with, but it is sloooow and easily loses it's connection

I must admit that it is nice having it all tidied up - just needs a hoover - and being able to see my first finished quilt in it's entireity for a change

Renata OFFLINE Posts: 2673 Thank you received: 260	Okay, Lois... reading your last two posts, all I could think of was poor little froggie, what did you do to it? The weather is beautiful here in DC, my window is open and I can hear rib-it, rip-it outside...
