American Snapshots

| American Snapshots 64 x 70 inches Quilt of Valor #195 |
American Snapshots started with a stack of bonus, blue/white HSTs, enough to make 21 pinwheel blocks. I raided my scrap bins for more blue white to sew 24 more. The alternate blocks are squares, cut from two panels that Jean F. sent this summer. I framed them with red to bring them up to the size of the pinwheels.

| the scrap HSTs provided nearly half of the necessary pinwheel blocks for American Snapshots |
I could have finished this quilt before the end of the year, but I didn't have the motivation, so American Snapshots is officially the first QOV for 2021.
It is the first and maybe the best:)
ReplyDeleteAptly named.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Nancy! Reminds me of stamps. I like this one a lot - plenty to look at!
ReplyDeleteI really like the combination of these blocks! Nice energy and interest. I've come to understand that my motivation wanes and waxes and I ride it out. It's nice we have other things like knitting or reading to help us out!
ReplyDeleteYou came up with a very clever way of using the panels and the HST. This is a great layout. Congrats on having a finish already for 2021.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!! That is just spectacular.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
