Do you remember those fabrics? It's the 4 fat quarters I got (randomly) in the guild's "brown bag" challenge. The challenge was for me to make something for the lady who put these 4 fat quarters in a brown bag. (We are permitted to add other fabric but must use at least some of what is provided.) They are not due until the end of July, but I don't really know this lady and wanted to get a jump on the project. She put a note in the bag that her house is decorated "country". She said she would like anything I made. Photos are below.I used a pattern from a book I have which I believe is called "Patriotic Little Quilts" and made her this wall-hanging. I added the gold fabric. While it is machine-pieced, it is all hand-quilted and if you could see it in person, you'd know the quilting really gives it a great texture! If I can get some decent close-ups that show the quilting details outside one day, I'll post them on the blog.
I even made her an "interesting" backing AND sleeve using her fabrics (and one other that I added since I didn't have enough of hers to do the whole back and sleeve). I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and I hope she likes it, too.

Pat, that is adorable. I can see the texture a little bit. I can see that you did the quilting in diagonal lines making diamonds.

You have to mail the picture of the back to Gyleen. Excellent job. If you happen to see something for me give a holler
It's fabulous!! This turned out really great and I know your brown bag partner will love it. You are right to be happy with how it turned out!
I love the back as much as the front too. It will be loved.
I really love the gold in this project. You've done a great job with the brown bag. I am impressed.
great as usual
it's beautiful and she will be thrilled you took time to handquilt it! That makes it so special.
Where to begin... I love the way you used the hearts in the flags. The gold really popped the colors.
I clicked on the photo and I could see the lovely hand quilting in the enlargement. Great job. Wish that little quilt was coming to my house.:)
It is very, very cute Pat. I love how you integrated all of the fabrics into the wall hanging and it looks like they were all chosen for that project!
Pat, that turned out lovely. I know she will like it...

That is amazing....I love what you did with those fabrics...I can't imagine anything better. The gold adds a nice sparkle. GOOD JOB and fast too!!
Turned 0ut really cute, Pat.
I can't see why she wouldn't like it. It is beautiful. I like the gold outlining the flags. It really sets them off nicely.
That is very nice... the receiver is going to love it, how could she not!? And hand-quilted to boot, it does't get any better than that! Oh my yes, I just enlarged it and saw more detail. She's one lucky gal.
Simply marvelous, my friend. What a wonder you are. She is going to love it, and Country it is, in more ways than one. Can I send you 4 fat quarters?:)
I love the quilt Pat...I can see the machine quilting, and it really makes it. The backing is out of this world. Well done!
