Purple Triangle Starbust Quilt

Just after Richard did the Triangle Quilt A Long, he was still in the mood to do triangles.  He was experimenting in EQ7 with patterns and came up this one.  Purple is one of his favorite colors, so he took some we had on hand and bought some more to make this quilt.  

I tried and tried to figure out a color for the back of this quilt.  Purple made it too overbearing.  I decided on a rosebud Minky, the good stuff, not cheap stuff from chain store.  Richard made me clean his machine after, talk about dust/lint bunnies.  It looks super cool quilted.  I think it really made the quilt.

The binding is a duller purple almost gray stripe, another difficult decision.  

Flag Rag Quilt

Richard has a cousin with a kid about Jared's age ie 10 that wanted to make a quilt .  

 He had the idea of recycling old flag

We decided on a blue flannel for the back.

We added some off white to round out the quilt.

The squares were 5 inch instead of our normal 6. 

He helped to sew x's while Richard sewed them together to form the rows.

Picture of the finished quilt.

We got it done all in one Saturday.  We washed it, although we sent it home wet.  We know what to expect with  a rag quilt and didn't want to clog his families washing machine.  We went back to the traditional non high-efficiency washing machine about a month ago. Too many problems, with all our rag quilts and kids not checking pockets.
