I had a fun and interesting and quilty weekend - and with all the envelopes coming in my way - I was really inspired to start on the Flags for Sue Tops..... so I did what any good quilter would do!
Gave the kids and the dad a list of chores and sent them to work.... while I did my *work* !!
And here is the first top!!
It measures 64 x 84 - So I think it is just the right size!!
I have drawn up quite a few different designs - so I am excited to try the next one and see if I like it as well!
If you want to help make some Flags for Sue - http://alyciaquilts.blogspot.com/2018/07/flags-for-sue.html
Its kinda an addicting block - and my 2 1/2 in strip pile is being used ;-)
Enjoy!!

The top looks really good Alycia. You are doing such a thoughtful thing - it is so inspiring. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! I like how you used sashing to tie them all together, yet still having a variety of flags. I''m looking forward to seeing what other designs you have up your sleeve!
