Ann Wight Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share 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 Oma, Plumpurple, beccabooo and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InesR Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 This is so precious. I love to give "quilt hugs" when people need them and this one is priceless. Beautiful quilting and such a neat way to pull the orphan blocks together. Especially love your ghost tulips. It will be such a special quilt for her.
