Hand Stitching on Zigzag

I was going to machine quilt this one but changed my mind..

Picked it up couple of weeks ago to keep me warm in the evening while 'watching' TV. It is 1/3rd way finished already. I am loving it.

Queen size quilt made with Goodwill dresses, skirts, pants and shirts.

Patty: Playing with Scraps and Inserts

Patty pieced the squares from scraps and wanted to try using inserts.
It was so fun, she soon had a whole quilt. No pattern--original design.

Sue took a class from Krista Moser at Aunt Mary's and made the quilt. Quilted by Krista Moser. The back has is a picture of Smokey the bear holding a young boy. That is her son and his youngest son.
