Recyled Moon over Fire Island



This is the original blankie from 5 years ago that was not planned in the sewing/piecing phases. It came together on its own. It's the first one that I did with curves, triangles and some hand piecing.

5 years later, 2 more apt's a new recycled blankie made entirely from scraps. The sun pieces are left over but I had to make one piece of the sun to complete the shape. The rest came out of a box of stuff. This is why I have so much crap in my house! Lucky for me its all piled in zip lock bags labeled.
The original panel was from the 1930's and was very deco; I believe it was inspired by the Chrysler building.
So the new creation is Moon over Fire Island. Currently incomplete it needs to closed.
The machine quilting is of stars and it created some unsightly shapes.

Hopefully Jen and her new baby will like it. I better finish it unlike the other 3 waiting to be sewn together and completed.

This fabric has come from 3 apt.'s and has been used in 3 other blankets. This will be the fourth for some of it. But it's totally perfect for Jen.

Thanks Nikki for getting me inspired to get it together.

As usual made with love.

FINISHED THIS AM- SEWN IN 3 STATES; NY, NJ AND PA AND WASHED AND DELIVERED THIS AM. YEAHHHHHH
