I've been big stitch hand quilting this one for over a month now. I've been stitching on it in the evenings after dinner and before bed while watching TV with hubby. I'm a little over half finished.
I made the top back in June 2024 to use up red, white and blue scraps.
The pattern is Shiloh from the book The Best of Fons and Porter Scrap Quilts and was inspired by a civil war era quilt in the Smithsonian.
And sew on...

Blizzard warning in effect starting this evening through Monday afternoon - up to 50 mph winds, 3-5 inches of snow and freezing temps. And I just started seeing tulips and daffodils popping up out of the ground. Hopefully they will survive Mother Nature's moods.

I’m big stitch hand quilting a pineapple log cabin at the moment too. I must admit it’s going very slowly. I will try to get back at it this week. Enjoy every stitch!
Sorry to hear about Mother Nature's tantrum at your place. It's so disheartening when she does that after the flowers show up. Can you place upside-down buckets over the flowers to protect them from the winds? With some rocks on top of the buckets, or something? Good luck with that. ;^)
We are having snow here at the moment - spring is in the distance! You inspire me to get my hand quilting going again!
