This quilt was a joy to quilt! Let me tell you about it.....2 years ago I was in charge of the "Friendship Blocks" in our guild. For this grouping of blocks I asked that those join in, that they use red reproduction prints and white/off white shirting and they were to use this pieced pattern and keep them at an 8 " block. We had about 26-26 sign up. This one guild member had all her blocks put together with alternate red squares and she used black and white prints for the 2 inner border! It turned out fabulous!


I quilted a square feater in the red alternate blocks, a "Betty" flower in the pieced blocks, feathered along the borders. and put a small line pattern of "Betty" flowers in the black and white inner borders.....

In the black and white inner borders I put a line pattern of "Betty" flowers to echo the Betty flowers in the blocks!

It's a sweet quilt that looks like a civil war reproduction.......

I must put MINE together, soon! After, I get caught up with my QUILTING!
