More on the Quilt

Some of you have asked about the quilt for the firemen. Here is a picture of it. The entire background is quilted in jagged angles to represent flames, the fire helmet has soot on it from my fireplace, the chin strap has the name of all the firemen who lost their lives, and it will protect the lives of the men in the future, the back is hand dyed in red, and hand embroidered the symbol of the fraternal order of firemen. I won second place at the State Fair and this was my first one ever entered!!
