Scott's DOD American Retirement quilt is washed and almost finished drying. I'll get a label on it Friday (want to make sure it's 100% completely dried before bunching it up to work on it), and then I hope we can get a good photo op together at the Air Force Academy this weekend. I got the binding finished over a week ago, so this last bit of work is delayed way long enough!
I have all 9 dog stencils now, so I'm trying to finalize my plans for the quilting so that I can do any marking up front before layering the quilt. Lori wants feathers and the dog's foot print and bones in it, so I'm trying to figure out a balance of doggy elements and "pretty" that works great with the quilt top (metro rings on red background) and the cameos. I have some good ideas, so this may be accomplished tomorrow.
And my breather project, when Lori's quilt overwhelms me with its mental intensity, is this old froggy UFO, "You Must Be Croaking." In March of 2013, I pulled this out of my deep storage and did the prewashing and made the basic blocks. I wish I knew when I'd originally bought the kit, because I'm sure it was at least 2 years old at that point.
Don't they look so cute from the back? hehe

Scott's quilt looks amazing and the dog pictures look even more intimidating when I see them in a bunch like that. Love the frogs :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. The frog eyes are cute.
ReplyDeleteLove the frog blocks. They should come live here as I am a frog/toad collector lol...they would fit right in.
ReplyDeleteLove the patriotic quilt too!
That retirement quilt is stunning (I looked back to find other pictures)! And your little froggie blocks are so cute. I have a friend who loves frogs and I am trying to find a little project to do for her. But she says it has to be SMALL, so I will probably end up appliqueing a single block...she is no fun!
ReplyDeleteThe retirement quilt is wonderful! Congratulations to Scott. And those frog blocks are oh so cute!
