road to oklahoma
This is a pattern very similar the road to Oklahoma on http://http://www.quilterscache.com/R/RoadtoOklahomaBlock.htm
QUILTERS CACHE except ours was done on Flannel and we did not used the trapezoid technique instead we used squares and triangles.it was a swap I did,... well long time ago I got ambitious and got quite big cause I use all the left overs and made more blocks. I gave that quilt to my D/H cause he is my star and his Family comes from Oklahoma.
My friend Joyce help me out, to figure the quilting on the border. I machine quilted it on my
"regular" machine, since it is flannel the quilting is not very noticeable that makes very forgiving when you are a novice.

Caleb's b-day Quilt
Caleb's birthday card arrived while I was in the middle of my Roman Stripe piecing.
For a micro second It occurred to me I should make a quilt to celebrate his growing up !!
But,... what pattern?
Once I had time to think, it occurred to me I actually had a lot of bugs in a jar! ( fron an old swap) and if I hurry, and with the help D/H with meals and stuff I could in the little time I have, complete the quilt in a week!!
I do better under pressure. lol
Cinco De Mayo was not a celebration priority this year, so I spend the afternoon piecing it. I quilted in my old MONTGOMERY WARD machine, this was given to me on my first anniversary many years ago, we just celebrated or 30+ this week .
This morning I made the label and I will make to the party on time.
