Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop, My Day

 

Welcome to the second day, and my day of the Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop!  Many thanks to Bea @Beaquilter for hosting this hop again.  This is my third year participating and I always enjoy pulling out my quilt books and choosing a project. 

In 2020 I made this quilt.  Still isn't quilted though.

In 2019 I made this one for my husband.  I did quilt this one already, and he uses it when he gets really cold.  It is flannel on both the top and backing and really heavy.  

This year I chose this book Small Favorites For All Seasons by Barb Adams and Alma Allen from 2004 of Blackbird Designs called Patriotic Delivery.

Too bad I didn't follow directions very well, I forgot to add the beige stripe between the red and blue on the border.  I didn't realize it until after I was fusing things down.  

I even quilted it twice.  The first time I started out free motion quilting and checked the back and it looked fine to start out with.  I looked at it when I was almost done again and I had a bunch of eyelashes on the back.  So I ripped it out and quilted it again the next day.

I showed my husband the finished product and he said he really, really liked this one which is more than he usually says.  I asked him if he would like me to hang it beside his bed and he said he would.  He sleeps in the living room in a hospital bed because of his medical problems.  So now it is hung where he can see it!  

Thanks again Bea @ Beaquilter for hosting this great blog hop, one I look forward to every year.  Be sure and check out the others in the hop, the list is below.
