Lap quilt, 50 inches square. Made for donation to Alzheimer's Research Group UCLA-San Diego, for their special Vietnam Veteran project. Wonky eight-point stars mixed with wonky four-point stars. Just had to use the backing fabric with old military planes from all the services branches for this quilt.

Denium Wonky Star

Lightweight denium and flannel lap quilt, finished size (after shrinkage!) 37 X 44 inches. Wonky star block, in center of quilt, is 15 inches square. Tried two techniques new to me: straight-line quilting and facing binding. Was very happy with the way both turned out! Used a mottled tan flannel for the backing, and thin cotton batting. This will be a donation quilt for a man in an Alzheimer's care center.
