Dignity III and more

I bought fabric for a Native American quilt in June, 2019, at a quilt shop in Chamberlain,SD, where we saw the Dignity stature. You can read about that day here. I made the first quilt, Dignity, in May of 2020, during some time-off from making pandemic masks. In November of last year, I made Dignity II, from some of the extra fabric. 

Now, Dignity III is finished. I really liked the white background fabric left from Dignity, and decided to find turquoise fabric in my stash to go with it. I used all of the white background fabric making this quilt finish at 54" by 59". 

I decided to quilt this in a ruler grid using Glide light turquoise thread, #32975, for the front and light gray, #17543, for the back.

The grid pattern is just three arcs, one on each side of each triangle. This result in a large flower where six triangles meet.

The back is the Dream Catcher fabric that I bought for Dignity and didn't use. I guess I knew it would be great on Dignity III.

You might be able to see the quilted flower on the back here.

I kept Dignity, donated Dignity II, and am keeping Dignity III.

In other news...

The graduation quilt is quilted and I am now hand sewing the binding. It should be finished with a couple weeks to spare.

We visited a new quilt shop (actually it's a little over a year old but I just found it) in Brodhead, WI. Keeping Up With The Jones's Quilting is a neat shop housed in an old church. 

Lori has a great selection for a small shop including lots of wide backs including flannels, a large selection of blenders, and a bargain basement.

I got to ring the church bell today and I will be going back!
