Julia's Quilt

My friend, Julia volunteers at a local thrift store and brought me a bag full of quilt blocks that she rescued from there.  
These are the larger blocks from that bag. ALL the ones in the bag were hand pieced with tiny stitches but these were not only hand stitched but the seams were also whip stitched. 

Now Julia knows how I love to quilt and knew I couldn't resist doing something with them. I decided that, since she rescued them, she should have the quilt. 

This is the layout I chose for the quilt and I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I have blocks for two more smaller quilts I can make that were in the bag as well.



















 




Jerry made me a place on our patio to hang my quilts so I can take better pictures.


















 I love the way the patterns show up when picture taken through the back with the sun in front of them.
