I named my version of Old Tobacco Road <http://quiltville.com/oldtobaccoroad1.shtml> "Campaign Trail" because that's the season we're in....and a long and scrappy trail it's been. I must admit that I wasn't wild about this pattern while I was slogging along with all those little HSTs for the pinwheels. I had to chart out all rows in the center to keep the assembly straight. By the time I got the center together I wasn't going to do those big Flying Geese for the border. But I did . . . and it all came together! Now I'm smiling....and I will be happy to move onto another project.
Nann,
ReplyDeleteYour "campaign trail" is beautiful. I love your colors! I love the name you picked also. I think all of you do such a great job of naming your quilts, so creative!

Wow - really great job. Love the mixed border of flying geese and the obvious use of scraps!
ReplyDeleteOh, very nice. I know what you mean. It seems like it is never going to go together but it does and it is very neat when finished. I am even considering another. Am I crazy? Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That's a lot of sewing in that "campaign trail"!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great example of a scrappy quilt that just "sings"!!
A wonderful, personalized name! And ... it just keeps getting scrappier. I will be glad when the election is over ... mentally exhausting and all those ads!
ReplyDeleteYour sewing is beautiful tho ...
OTR is great-I'm just starting mine, beginning 388 HST's! I'm happy to see so many persisting through these challenging little pieces it is encouragement for the rest of us.

ReplyDelete"A long and scrappy trail" for sure - great name for your OTR! Good job -- I sat this one out, for now anyway to try to catch up on a few ufo's.
