    This is a King quilt (118" x 118") in Churn Dash
    pattern with solid center blocks. I wrapped the
    back to the front for binding. and used all my
    scraps for the backing.
    I hand embrodiered the 2 Citadel squares.

    He graduated from the Citadel in 1957 and
    still loves his school. (after all these years).

    I found a lady on Craigslist who had 10 years quilting experience. She had a new LA & wanted to get
    experience on her new machine.

    She quilted it for me for $40. and supplied the thread.
    She did fan leaves in the plain blue blocks and
    meandering in the rest.

    Hope the pics come though.
