Thin Blue Line Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I finished the quilt for my nephew who retired from the police force. I wanted to use the same color thread as the white, black, and blue parts of the quilt and a different color bobbin thread but the bobbin thread showed on the top. I know it has something to do with the tension but I tried and couldn't get it right. I quilted this on my sweet sixteen.
I just did loops and stars. I'm not real good at FMQ and need more practice but I am getting there slow but sure. Thanks for all of your help in making this quilt.

Wonderful quilt and so meaningful. My son is a cop and this give me a great idea. Is there a pattern for this or did you design it yourself? Your Nephew will treasure this gift and thank him for his loyal service and putting his life on the line every time he puts on that uniform.

This quilt is so pretty and has such a meaning for all of us. Especially in these uncertain times. I love how you quilted this and the thin blue line is evident and shares the meaning easily will all who will see it. Thanks for sharing this great quilt.

I love this quilt. I have a firefighter neighbor and have thought I should make a thin red line for him. I'.m sure your nephew loves this. Hope he stays safe.
