Design Source - Description | My husband described the quilt he wanted me to make him, and I made it. Some blocks were a lot easier than others! It consists of 36 blocks: the letters of the alphabet and then the numbers 0 through 9, all based on the nautical flags used for each. I was particularly pleased with the pieced circles, done after watching a show on Simply Quilts about how to do it. I was stumped on how to hand quilt it, then saw a Pfaff Grand Quilter on an Inspira frame at the local quilt show. Well, I HAD to have it, and part of my argument on why I needed it was that I could finally finished this quilt! Well, dh bought my story, I bought the Pfaff and the quilt was finally finished. |
