Uncle Sam

I just love this panel!  I just added the red and white striped borders.  I wish they were a little darker but I am trying to work from stash here.  I'd like to quilt this with baptist fans.  We'll see how that goes.

added some borders


I decided that this one really needed a border-it just looked unfinished.  The blue will finish about 2.5 inches.  I started to quilt it but the backing got really wrinkly.  I will try again when I'm not so tired.

I can't decide which fabric to use for the binding: red, gold or blue print.  But now as I look at this photo, I think I should find some dark  blue.  This will be a little wall-hanging either for home or my office.
