Default Bucket of Strips Quilt Now Quilted Thanks to QB Member

Well over a year ago I posted some photos of a strip quilt top made from some of the zillions of strips I found at a tag sale at the home of Joan Kessler who was a fabric designer. You might remember it. One of our members helped me out when I was stumped on what to do with the triangles. Here is the top ...

I never got around to quilting it and then our home was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy. I rescued the top from the muck and washed it several times. Once we were settled in an apartment, I was blessed with a visit from SewDamnCute. I showed it to her and she offered to quilt it for me. What an amazing and generous offer. And here it is. She did a magnificent job on it. My photos don't do it justice, but the quilting is in red and it's perfect!

That is really pretty, I like the design and the black shows off the colors nicely.

What a blessing folks often are when we could use a little help, huh? It's a gorgeous quilt and I'm so glad you were able to save it, and that SewDamnCute quilted it for you....what a great job!!
