Not as much sewing going on here as I would like. Treasure is out of town on business, and I have been holding down the fort alone. Lots of work for me. But I did manage to finish another 48 of these early in the week. So, of course I got 48 more!!!LOL!!!
I have finished them too!
Plus, I used up some of my favorite civil war reproduction fabric. Some of these I kept for my own project, as well as the purple that The Quilt Shoppe owner cut for my own special Tango roll. (Thanks Dawn!!!) To make up for my selfishness, I shared some of my favorites with my Tango partners. So far my running total is 216 2-inch half square triangles!!! Wow, I didn't know that I had it in me!!
Since this hasn't been a visually interesting finish, I thought to share this quilt. Treasure got it for me at an antique mall as a token of thanks for my redecorating our bedroom. (I keep telling you he is a smart man!) Lots of that green!!!!
Here she is stretched out on our bed in all her glory!
Beautiful !
The entire back is that green, just like this quilt that I received after my grandparents passed.There is no fading, and she is in perfect condition! Tiny, tiny hand stitches cover her. She has no batting, like the other quilt. Her binding is that green, like the other quilt.
I fancy that a miracle has taken place. The stitch length both in the quilting and in the binding is so very similar. Could the same woman have made them?? We will never know. Neither quilt has a label. :-(
Label your quilts ladies, or you maybe responsible for driving some sweet woman in the future stark raving bonkers!;-)
Remember to click on the Sew and Tell Friday button on the side bar and check out all the other wonderful finishes!

ReplyDeleteFinishing out the week is your finest accomplishment, sis! Although, since I know where you live and usually your schedule...don't be surprised if a "cat" burglar visits to abscond (doncha love that word!) with your sweet, little triangles!
