Finish It Up Friday...Helen's Stars
I finally have a finish to share! I washed it and went straight outside to take pictures. This is what I got...thank you wind. I had to get creative. First, I slapped it up against this hay bale and let the wind hold it there. Then, I used the chain-link dog kennel. It suctioned it right on :) Anyway, I received this project as finished blocks when I inherited some of my fabric. All but one of these blocks were done and there were pieces for a few more. I made one into a block and used the rest to piece the to half-square triangle ends and the pieced section on the back. I also found among the blocks her original plans for this quilt. How neat to know what she intended. I did the quilting on my treadle machine, just some simple echo quilting along with stars in the blank squares. At my mom's suggestion, I did the back in flannel. I found a plaid among my stash that matched the colors...
