In 2021 I made this quilt for my SIL. I had a ton of fabric left over from it and I found that stash this week. It seemed a prime candidate for a masculine veterans quilt. I liked this quilt when I made it in 2020. I made a couple of versions and decided that it was a good pattern for these fabrics too. The enters will be different prints. The dark brown and ivory fabrics will be the outside edges of the block. There was even more of the fabric left over! I made this Crossroads quilt in 2015 and it was the perfect patter for the rest of the batik scraps. So I have 2 more veterans quilt kits ready! Then I went to the basement and finished quilting Anne's quilt. This quilt is about 60" square and I think it was a kit. The fabrics are all the same print but in different colorways. It's a nice effect. The backing is a hand dyed that I've had in my stash for years. The quilting doesn't show at all on the front but it does show nicely on the back. It's a pantograph called Spin and this is the first time I've used it.
Today we are going to Charlottesville to hike Ragged Mountain. It's a 6 mile hike around the reservoir. We did it last year and it was a lot of fun. Next I'll get back to some veterans quilts.

I love the colors in those two kits. And Anne's quilt looks great! What a fun back.

I loved (and still love) the Crossroads you did in batik fabric. I look forward to seeing how this one comes out.

So great to find to pieces and then turn them into kits. That hike sounds like a nice time to get out and enjoy nature!

You obviously have an enviable stash! And now have enough kits to keep you busy for awhile. Comments are closed.
