2013 Firefighters Quilt finished, THANK you everyone for your advise...
 
4 Attachment(s)
At the center is the silouette of the praying firefighter..surrounded by 6 pair of boots, each with the name of a local fire co.At the top & bottom, is the firefighters prayer. On the back I made a small pair of boots with the quilt info inside. I tied/knotted this quilt to the back as to not detract from the appliques. I have some trimming & cleaning up to do, then it's off to the auction.
I want to THANK everyone who answered my quest for applique & knotting help : )
I appreciate you taking the time to help!
This quilt , along with a lot of other goodies!! will be auctioned off next month. The group doing the auction will divide the proceeds between all 6 fire companies.

Very nice quilt. A shame it wasn't quilted, it would have brought much more money.

Ellageo 02-06-2013 02:49 PM

I wish I was a 'quilter' & could have quilted it, but I'm not. I'm retired & basically new to quilting. I spent around $100. on fabrics, pellons, etc & that's my donation, along with 3 solid weeks of time.Maybe I need to find others in the area that would quilt for free to donate next year. My Aunt & others met at our church for as many years as I can remember..all their quilts were tied/knotted.Their quilts were beautiful & appreciated, so I did not have a problem tying this one.To me, it feels like love. Real quilting would have been beautiful! I have to work on that. Thanks for your critique.

Dragonomine 02-06-2013 04:27 PM

I'm actually glad you didn't quilt it because it would have taken away from the beautiful applique.

MamaInRed 02-06-2013 04:46 PM

I hope it raised a lot of money, it is really a beautiful work of art.
