Frankenquilt........FINISHED...

...and GONE !

I finished the Frankenquilt on Thursday, washed and dried it, and photographed it a bit.  
 Today, I took it to show to the lady for whom I pick up lunch.  She carried on over it, and wanted to know if I ever sold my quilts, and for how much.  

I gave it to her. 

 
I made the binding finish at 3/4 inches wide.......because I wanted to !


I couldn't help it !   She just loved it, and is always so sweetly complimenting all of my work.  And, I couldn't price it !   After all, it was made from bits and pieces, here and there, all found here in my tubs and bundles !  

So, there........Frankenquilt has found a happy home.

Enjoy, Sister Faye ! 

Details.....Finished measurements before washing--56" x 64".

                Machine-quilted in ditch horizontally, vertically, 
                and diagonally , except for border rows of squares.
                Borders were hand-quilted free-hand without 
                hoop, using big needle.  

                Batting was Fairfield 80% cotton/20% polyester 
                remnants.  Thread for quilting was variegated 
                spool sent from JoAnn Gilley.
