Another share
 

Some have asked me to post more of my projects since I started this quilting adventure last year so here is another one to share with you. This was for husband in celebration of 30th anniversary in March this year. I had to make it on the sly. It's an old pattern and the fabric collection (I found the panel from a shop in Tennessee) was no longer available so I had to wing it with fabrics...I stayed with civil war fabrics and bought from several different outlets until I had everything. I never sewed rows on a diagonal before so that was a new technique for me....also, I discovered, I'm sick of Ohio Star block...lol.. Anywhoo...I had it custom quilted....hubby totally loved it. BTW?..I have an extra General's panel if anyone is interested. Not sure how you go about "giving" something to someone on the board but I'll look up the rules. The pattern is free from Wyndham Fabrics site.

Edit: I will post something on the "Offers" thread for the panel. Need to measure it so you'll have details. Stay tuned.

that turned out lovely. Wonderful idea. he should love it! nice of you to offer the other panel too. have a great Christmas!

My apologies....I read "Restrictions to offer" rules and I have to be a member for 90 days and be a Senior Member. I'll hold onto the panel and offer when I'm eligible.

Love that! Good job!!

Good job!!

great job. Lovely quilt for a man.

Lovely quilt!

Any Civil War buff would love that!

very nicely done

I could see that quilt on a bed in one of those historical re-enactment villages. You had a great idea and executed it well!

Very attractive quilt. Great way to use the civil war reproduction fabrics. Thanks for showing us this special quilt.

A great looking quilt. welcome to the Quilting board.

Thats beautiful ,the panel is really nice.

You did a wonderful job on it. Welcome! :)

Beautiful. You did a super job. I can understand why he loves it. Welcome to the board from Northern California. You will be surprised how fast the 90 days go by. BrendaK

WOW, that is gorgeous.

Wonderful quilt.

very nicely done

A wonderful anniversary gift!!!

I would be interested in the panel. My cousin visits Gettysburg every year and I'd love to make a quilt for him. I'll be watching....Merry Christmas.........

This is so awesome...wow...I dearly love this Quilt...Beautiful Job....

very nice job!!

Wow, I love that.

I'd say you have a great eye for bringing things all together. Your wonderful traditional Star pattern is perfect with the panel and the civil war prints. For someone who is really new to quilting....I'd say you found your calling. Great job!

You have such a good eye for color and design!

Beautiful....

I can't take credit for the color selection. I had pictures of the fabric used in pattern and tried to match it that way since the collection was discontinued. Took me a few weeks to find all the colors I needed and had to tweek a couple of colors. The Ohio Star was used because that's where Grant is from. I'm on the lookout for General Lee panel... Thought it only fair he is represented too. Lol! thank you for your encouraging words.... Yours and all who posted. Much appreciated.

Nice quilt.

It is a totally awesome quilt. Lucky guy, your hubby.

It's a beautiful quilt and a great historical commemorative!
