Ease won out -- I don't have to turn the hoop with the BFs. But honestly, I think Baptist Fans look great on any quilt and especially if one wants a "homey" quilt.<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-56067389091163747232016-09-20T22:35:45.510-04:002016-09-20T22:35:45.510-04:00One of the things I love about old quilts is seein...One of the things I love about old quilts is seeing the imperfections indicating that a real person made the quilt, not a machine.

I think I read somewhere that it was a popular pattern for quilting bees when the quilters sat around a frame and used the arc their arms made from elbow to thumb and forefinger to quilt. Who knows what made me think, "if they can do it, I can do it." I love the imperfections in the old quilts where one can see the "hand" of the maker.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-740993514707526612016-09-20T22:22:03.232-04:002016-09-20T22:22:03.232-04:00Thanks, Missy.
