Fisherman's Quilt

I'm working on a quilt for my older brother.

His birthday is later this month

and he is the family fisherman.

I do a lot of basting on my quilts.

It takes more time but I like the way

it holds everything in place better than pins.  

 This is a square that I had to remake.

Note: measure twice - sew once :)

I purchased new fabric and also used 

fabric from my stash for this quilt.  

I was cutting my strips 3 inches wide,

but in this one I used some from the stash

 that were 2 1/2 inches wide. 

To my surprise, when I started to join them together,

this one was too small, LOL

This is the redo :)

 Following are more quilt photos.

The Front

 The Back

This is the label.

 While I was sewing yesterday . . .

My other brother that I made the baseball quilt for called.

He had gotten his in the mail.
He said that he was so surprised and happy,

it made him cry.

Hopefully I'll get this one in the mail
later this week

and see if I can make my other brother cry, too.

Have a lovely week.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,
