Quilt Festival Spring 2010



I started this quilt a few years ago and finished it last year. It seemed to be in progress forever.
I started quilting it on the Flynn frame and I had to take it off and just quilt it the way I usually do. Lots of readjusting. I do like quilting better this way. I never used the frame again. Some people love them though. This is the first finished pic I have of it (took today). I can't believe I didn't take a pic of it when I finished it. It's feedsack reproduction fabric and white. It looks off white or like it has a print in the picture but that is the backing ( a vintage yellow flower sheet) showing through. (The batting is very thin). This quilt is very loved and used everyday.
