Smokey River Quilt Top
[Sorry for the bad lighting on this photo. The top half is in shadow.]
This is one of my mom's unfinished quilt tops. All I had to do was put on the borders. She had that big center star square done, and even the 9-patch borders, though they were as yet unattached. From the notes, it looks like she planned to enlarge it enough to be a king-size quilt to fit their bed. I don't have a bed that big, nor can I easily work on a quilt that big. So it's only a full-size now.
Somewhere I know I saw another set of the 2-1/2 inch strips, but I might have given those away already ...
I love the Stone Henge textures, but it's strange to see them cut up and broken up into little pieces. I'd rather look at the larger textures, I guess.
Meanwhile, I am again amassing quite a pile of quilt tops--mine and my mothers. It may be time to make some quilt sandwiches over the holidays!

These are SO my colors and I too love that line of fabric and tend to use it in big pieces. Goodness lady, you are on a roll! Don't blame you for ditching any ideas of making this king size. :-)
