+++++++ Finished quilt details: +++++++ 

Front piecing: Central pieced pattern are nine "Hidden Wells" blocks, surrounded by a middle border of 25-patch blocks using a Strip Set Method. Final outer border is a "Saw Tooth" pattern made from half-square triangles.

Inner Sashings: Several different narrow and wide printed fabric sashings (stars, stripes, and hawaiian florals) are placed in between the central blocks, the middle border of 25-patches and the final saw tooth border.

Back: Fabric is a bold, patriotic printed cotton of flags, stars and eagles.

Used dark red thread on the front and bright red thread on the back.

Quilting: Pattern is "Field of Flowers", an edge-to-edge design of flower petals, leaves and flourishes.

Look how luscious and wrinkly-scrunchy the quilting is after a washing!

Washed, folded, labeled and ready to be shipped to its new home!

Up on my "design wall" (back of a flannel tablecloth!) after adding the 25-patches, and realizing I still needed to make this quilt larger.

Measuring the length of HST's needed for the Saw Tooth border.

Edge-to-edge quilting on my Janome QMP-18 long arm.

Loving how the quilting pattern (Field of Flowers) is stitching out.

Sewing on the binding using my blind hem foot (#5) on my Bernina 240.
