Quilt Shot Block #77 ~ Shoo Fly

Shoo Fly

6½ inches

Can be a 12½ inch

Last week I posted the Two Color  9 Patch

and said it was 1 of 2 quilt icons for me.

This is #2.

Shoo Fly was THE first completed quilt I ever made.

While making my Aunt's memory quilt, 

I added a row of these.

************

First you might want to take look at the house dress I used.

Used the blue from the bottom,

and pink from the bodice which included facings.

 Just like I did the 9 Patch

I didn't worry a lot about these wonky pieces going together accurately.

When cutting from clothing, it's not always easy to cut exactly on the grain,

which means their will be some unwanted stretching of fabric no matter how hard you try.

It's a memory quilt where I hope the receiver will notice the fabric & memories more, 

I hope.
