This Old Quilt

By

This old quilt is one of my favorites. It was a group effort from several ladies from a guild that I was once a member. The quilt started with the eagle and all the other blocks were made from that patriotic theme.
Paper piecing, applique`, templates and other methods were used throughout the process.
I'm sorry to say that I don't have a close-up of this quilt. At the time, it was hand quilted by guild members (me included) and auctioned off to a wonderful couple who collect unique quilts.
I have seen the quilt once since it was auctioned. The couple said that everyone who looked at it were always amazed to see what all went into it.
