RWB Chevron quilted
This quilt top has been done for a long time. I used a wide back for it to make it easier to get going. It is a Missouri Star pattern using a layer cake that was donated to me. I had to wash the layer cake due to basement funk smell from the donor. I set the squares outside on a sheet to dry and came back 15 minutes later to find them blown all over my backyard and front. I had to retrieve squares from under bushes and all over. It was kind of funny.
Finally, it was loaded and I quilted a different pattern every white area, but straight lines on the print fabric. I used Glide Military Gold top and bottom. Used stripe fabric for the binding. It actually was very fun to quilt.
I am saving it for a veteran quilt donation. It isn't washed yet and I am sure the quilting will look even better then.

I'm always amazed by people who are creative enough to quilt something different in so many sections of a quilt. Beautiful work, Linda!
LOVE your quilting in all of the white spaces - I'm not sure I know how to do that many different motifs - LOL - ;))
oh that is just beautiful!! your quilting just enhances it!
Very beautiful Linda! I don't think I would have the patience to quilt each piece in a different motif. Great job!
Ha ha! Basement funk, and we all know instantly what you mean!
Usually warm water, ammonia, and sunshine, but I think the sunshine is the critical ingredient.
Great work as always.
Just beautiful. I like the simple design completed with intense quilting! The story adds to it too.
Too funny about the drying process (tho not in the moment, I'm sure). Great quilt - love the quilting.
Nice quilt. Yes, I have some fabric in the basement, and sometimes it also smells funky.
I had to laugh, Linda! yes, I can see that happening to you! It’s beautiful, and you infused it with your love and creativity. I’m sure it will be treasured by the lucky person who receives it. Nice job!
