Ann Wight 247 Report post Posted July 17, 2017 I just took this little orphan block quilt off the frame and bound it. I was given several bags of stash and blocks from a lady that passed away several years ago. Her daughter is an acquaintance of mine and recently her husband was killed in an boating accident. I made this for her from the last of her Mom's orphan blocks. More of the story and photos on my blog. http://bunkhousequilts.blogspot.com/2017/07/clothesline-quilt-is-done.html 12 Oma, EHonour, yankiequilter and 9 others reacted to this Quote Hand driven green Millennium, Bliss Table. http://bunkhousequilts.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InesR 135 Report post Posted July 17, 2017 What a lovely gesture! The quilting is so nice, love the scenic look to it. The tulips, then the sky, all reinforce the clothesline. Nice visual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
