Quilted! -- Upside Down!

I wanted to make use of my spring break time.  I quickly loaded this little red orphan block quilt onto the longarm frame yesterday.  I didn't pay attention to how the Baptist fans were going to land on the house...  So I guess I quilted it upside down.  I doubt if the baby that receives it will notice.


It's something I can live with, so I didn't rip it out.  My husband said it looks like it's windy at the house.  I don't remember what the block is called in the corners.  In this instance they look like boats on a sea of red.  I can't remember what project they were a leftover from.  It may have been a Pat Sloan block of the month piece that I didn't use?  Regardless, I still think it turned out cute.

The red dot binding left over from another project is ready to go.  I'll get it put on this week so that it can land in my school bag for when I got back to school on Tuesday, 4/7.

This quilt measures 43.5" square.

Your hubs is right, the baby won't think a thing about the quilting, I doubt the parents will either. Happy stitching!

The quilting looks great to me! Is there really a rule of how Baptist fans are supposed to be laid out?

Well how cute is this darling quilt. I think the corner blocks look like boats too. It has a patriotic nautical vibe. Just love it!

Pretty little quilt, Kathy. I see 'boats' in the corner blocks too and together with the house it's a really cute quilt. I love it!
