Ohio Star Quilt(s) Progress

1/2/2021

0 Comments

 
I finished piecing the front of the quilt for the RV...and the back. I was originally intending to make the quilt "reversible" in the sense the design on the back would be another interesting view. This was, I believe, my husband's suggestion. We've been discussing it a lot and I've lost track of who suggested what. 

Anywho, when I got it done I reconsidered making it a separate quilt. We don't share covers in general. He runs hot; I run cold. I use my down comforter ("the cloud" as I call it) year-round.  He uses a flimsy thing. Plus he will hog a shared cover and I will wake up in the middle of the night cold. So we each have our own. Why would it be different in the RV? It wouldn't. Plus, I am putting the warmest wool batting in. It will probably be too warm for him. Why not make the original "back" its own quilt and put a poly blend in for him? He agreed and now I have more yardage for the backs of the now two quilts plus the poly blend batting on order and I will baste them together when it all arrives.

Original Front, 20 Ohio Stars

Note that the sides don't extend far over the sides because these quilts are intended for the RV bed, which is slightly smaller.

Bonus: Pillow Cases

Hubby wants red pillow cases. It might be overkill, but I'm not passing up the chance to make something he's interested in. I made 4.

I used an existing pillowcase for the measurements, and then put this border on for some relief from the red. So cute.
