Wash Day Stars quilt from Quilt Sampler - Fall/Winter 2006 by Karen Snyder. This one measures 83" x 75" and I used some of the leftover squares in the binding. I really like how it all turned out.

This was a Christmas present for my husband, who informed me that he really likes the older/vintage quilts, so I set to work on this while he was out fishing and hunting this past fall. I was getting a little panicy that I may not finish it, but did, and my daughter kept it at her place until Christmas morning. He never suspected a thing...and really likes it.

Thank you. The backing is actually a flannel top sheet. Costco has flannel sets on sale, cheaper than flannel by the yard, so I pick up a set with the sole intention to use them as backings for quilts. Sweet deal.
