Louise Naples Quiltmaker

This quilt was created for a Philanthropic fund raiser for the Women’s Club of Forest Hills. The theme of the event was Denim & Diamonds, so I scoured the internet for multiple colors of blue denim and some red and white as well. The argyle pattern was a no brainer. Working with the denim was a chore on my sewing machine, as many points coming together made for difficult sewing. I just used a denim (Jeans) needle, and went very slowly over the seams, steam ironing them all open. A red inner border worked well, and a lucky find on-line of the blue diamond patterned cotton fabric for the outer border completed the quilt top. Since actually quilting it would have presented many problems for my Viking sewing machine, I decided to tie the quilt with red Pearl yarn, the old fashioned way. It is backed with a multi-blue brushed flannel. A great quilt to nap under.!
