If you cut 2 strips of fabric, 2.5 inches wide, the width of the fabric and sew them together into this pattern you have just enough fabric for 2 blocks.
That was about 20 years ago. In this her second quilt she learned how to tie a quilt,machine quilt and to hand quilt. The center of the quilt was tied, the navy border machine quilted and the red outside corner squares had hand quilted stars. A couple years ago she brought to me to machine quilt on my long arm.
This quilt is still in use as one of her quilts for guests to use.I enjoyed working with my children on the sewing machine. My oldest made 3 quilts before leaving home. My second child, a boy, made one. I kind of lost my wind and did not do one with the third, a boy. Then the 4th was very interested and she made a small fishy quilt when she was 8?
