Finished!


 It's a finish!
70 x 78

I made this one to use a lot of red, white and blue strings.
 The magazine instructions called for 5 inch finished HSTs but I made mine 4 inch finished so I could use scraps from the 4.5 inch scrap bin.   
 I used paper as the foundation for the eight inch string blocks. 
 The quilting doesn't really show up well but I quilted it on the diagonal with squiggles and loops. 

The backing and binding was yardage from a friend. 

And now it is ready for donation.

    VERY nice indeed -- I have a RWB (more or less) cut out to sew oversize HSTs. But the 70s quilt project has taken me a bit off course so the patriotic one will have to wait a bit.

    That turned out great. It even looks good with the snowy background!
