Here is 3 more picture, of my newest quilt.. And, to me a real test for doing(using ) the blanket stitch.. A younger brother wanted me to make him a quilt, using the word, "TRIUMPH", in the middle of his quilt.. As to what block, I'm not sure of yet.. And for some of you's that are wondering why the triumph word, will be, in his quilt.. The reason why, is that he is being rehabilitated, in a correctional facility, and will be released(paroled) next Sept...One more thing, and I'm sold on this product called "Steam-A-Seam. It's a fusible webbing, and I used it for the first time, with the blanket stitch, and lettering. To me a wonderful product..

A picture of my quilt using 2"squares, to make the 4 patch, for this quilt.

Your "Triumph" really is a triumph!! It looks great and I can't wait to see the whole quilt when that time comes. :D :thumbup:
Your 4-patch is wonderful, it looks very retro to me, and makes me smile :D:D
