This kind of scrappy back building happened yesterday afternoon!
It was a beautiful drive home from the cabin, temps have crept up into the 80s here in North Carolina –how did it go from too cold to too hot so quickly?
I’ll take it. I would much rather roast than freeze, and as the saying goes, “You don’t have to shovel sunshine!”
I’m soaking it up, because I’m SURE it’s not going to be like this in Iowa this weekend, nor will it be this way at the Grand Hotel in May!
This small quilt project has really been a fun one. Such a satisfactory fast finish. There may be more small quilts in my future.
I dug into my little bin of Quilt of Valor patriotic type scraps, and used some fun stuff along with the extra four patches from the top to make this strippy back. When I do quilts with a patriotic feel, I tend to play more with the color families, paying less attention to the print on the fabric, than the colors that bring about the feeling that I want. This means that there are not a lot of flag or star things happening in the front. Theme fabrics can be busy and overpowering if too many of them are used in close proximity. I let the colors do the job –but the back is a great place to pull in the Americana!
