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.

Second June Scrappy Lap Quilt Back

MaxNTopeka — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 08:34:36 GMT

Finished the second lap quilt made for Nana's June 2012 Scrappy Quilt Project. Instead of paper-pieced hearts, I inserted three wonky stars into the top. For the borders I used some of the same fabrics that were in the top. The binding was also pieced together from left-over scraps. Used a fabric with old pickup trucks on the back, and bordered it using the colors from the trucks. Quilted with a simple diagonal straight-line pattern. Finished at 52 inches square. Will be donated, along with the other scrapply lap quilt made in June, to the Alzheimer's Research Project.
