FLora's Fans
58 x 74
I am so glad that I participated in Jackie's Blogger BOM project. I didn't do the last block because I had already worked out my layout. The quilt as I made it is a perfect sofa quilt size. Jackie will have her layout posted on her blog October 25.
I made mine with feedsack fabrics and plain white muslin. I'm calling it Flora's Fans because it reminds me of my Great Grandmother. I quilted it with the Baptist Fan motif because that's what she used on her quilts.
There are some of her fabrics in the quilt. I am pretty certain that the pink here and the green in the block below are her fabrics.
The binding is scrappy feedsack fabrics. I really like the effect of scrappy bindings. This one is ready for the back of someone's sofa. It's going to be a soft and comfy snuggle quilt.
I really do love the setting and border. It's perfect and I love that it has a special meaning too.

Feed sacks are so cheerful and bring back a lot of memories. Vicki, you've reminded me of a quilt I have; it was made in the late 1800's and has wool filling. It's flannel and ever so soft and cozy.
