Sausage


This quilt is like Scrappy Happy posted November, 2014, except this one is made from regular cotton and not flannel. When Frances came this summer she sorted the strips of fabric that Mother had saved by color and width. Frances's great sorting job greatly facilitates the strip quilts Mother has planned. Thank-you, Frances! Mother calls this quilt "Sausage" because it's made from the leavings (offal?) from many of our quilts. This quilt was given to Cynthia for her good friend Joyce. Joyce died and the quilt was used to drape the body for the family time.

Size: 68" x 68" Lap Size
Quilting: Loose stipple over the entire quilt. Used tan polyester thread (Omni from Superior Threads called "Sandstone"). Free form quilting. 5 bobbins. 
Backing: Brown cotton print from Patty's stash. The print has bright colored small circles.
Batting: 100% Cotton (Warm And Natural)
Binding: Green print from Mother's stash
Pattern: As seen on various media-TV, magazines, internet
Pinned into frame October 14, 2015. Quilting on long arm quilter October 21-23, 2015. (Patty). Took time off for errands and doctor appointments as well as warm weather. That's why the delay between pinning into frame and quilting.
