Another one for the Duke
Another One for the Duke
A John Wayne quilt - twin size, approximately 60x80 inches. There are eight printed 8x10 pictures of John Wayne, four vertical and four horizontal. The pattern is divided into four quadrants, each identical. The sewing was challenging because the corners don't match. Sections were sewn together and then pieced by only sewing halfway down the block, finishing the next section and then completing that seam. It's very time consuming. It was a really great project, I had fun in the quilting too. There are signatures of John Wayne in the dark brown strips, movie titles, famous quotes and some cowboy illustrations randomly placed but mostly on the larger blocks. My favorite is the outhouse. And as will all my quilts I learned a lot, this time about John Wayne, I think this may be the surprise bonus, more learning.
