Quilty Things in SAO’s World: Fred’s Boxy Stars and Fred’s Ts Quilt Back – AND My Birth of a Sampler Quilt is FINALLY finished!
Posted By drsao on October 25, 2008
I am doing the HAPPY DANCE tonight because I finished my brother Fred’s Boxy Stars Quilt top (another Bonnie K. Hunter free quilt pattern on www.quiltville.com). I actually had finished the center of this quilt – all except the outer border while on the Massanetta Springs Country Piecemaker’s Retreat! YEAH! I wasn’t sure that I was going to LOVE this quilt because the colors that my brother chose (browns, blues and greys) weren’t my cup of tea….but in the end, I actually do like it! He might get this in time for Christmas if I can get it quilted in time.
Here is the back of Fred’s Boxy Stars Quilt….
There is one more interesting thing about this quilt back .. I put one sashing from one of our dad’s shirts (grey and white stripe) and one sashing from one of my mother’s blouses (grey, blue and white plaid) in the quilt back……good memory, don’t you think!?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE FINISHING THINGS…..this is on my List of Favorite Things…..I love to FINISH THINGS almost as much as I love to START THINGS!!!! Seriously, doesn’t it feel great to mark another UFO off your list!???? Today was certainly productive – but it was a perfect rainy day – great for sewing and catching up on my TIVO’d episodes of “HOUSE.”
