Verna's quilt...

(Note: To enter my giveaway, go here.)

I've been down and out this past week with a bad cold, so not a lot of sewing going on.  However, I did find a few moments here and there to finish quilting a quilt for a friend.  This is another of the mystery quilts our bee did last year.  Once they're all done, we're going to donate them to soldiers.  Since my friend Verna is moving, I offered to quilt her top for her.

Another Hatch and Windows Mystery Quilt

Verna made hers in traditional red, white and blue and it turned out just beautiful!  I'm sure whoever ends up with it will be pleased with both the fabrics and the workmanship that went into it.

I used a new pantograph to quilt it from the book Quilting Dot to Dot by Cheryl Barnes.  The pattern doesn't have a name, but it's on page 87.  (I've actually gotten a lot of really good pantographs from this book!)

Quilt pantograph I used

This was a pretty easy (and quick) pantograph to stitch up.  I like it so much, I'm going to use it on my next quilt as well!  Here's a closeup of the quilting on the back of the quilt...
