Marine Footlocker Topper by Nancy H

We had to use at least 12 different fabrics for this week’s Project Quilting Challenge.  I also needed to make a topper for my cousin’s “coffee table”.

He uses his dad’s footlocker from when he was in the Marines back in the 1960s.  Since the footlocker was green, and I didn’t have any greens that would match it, I decided to use mostly blues with pops of green.

I found 6 greens, 6 blues and decided on a 9 patch set on point.  He wanted it very puffy, so I used 1 layer of Hobbs with 2 layers of poly batting over it.  I used a double needle to quilt with blue thread through the greens.  I love how it turned out!  My cousin and his wife both loved it too!

My quilt is 40x19.  A wonderful topper for the footlocker!
