This is a wall hanging I made this summer in response to a challenge given to all of the members of my quilting group. The challenge was called “What will you do with Blue?” One of the women in the group gave each of us a fat quarter of the blue fabric and told us to go for it. There were few rules, except that our piece had to use at least a little of the blue fabric somewhere and had to be at least 10″ square but not more than 16″ square. Here’s what I came up with. The flag is paper pieced. Here’s what the backing looked like:
I had some leftover states fabric from making a pillowcase for Andrew, so it seemed like just the right thing for the backing. It was quick and fun to do.
P.S. These pictures were taken with my cell phone, rather than our regular digital camera. 🙂
Nice job, Nancy! I didn’t know that you belonged to (another) quilting group. 🙂 And it looks to me like your cell phone takes darn good pictures!
This is just my regular group of Quilting Ladies on Wednesday afternoons – I think Marty has visited them at least once.
