My patriotic quilts. . .

I thought it might be fun to see my patriotic and flag quilts all together.



designed by Jan Patek

Plaid quilt in red, white, and blue with buttons - love this quilt

A combination of designs by Blackbird Designs

Little Women 12 by Jo Morton

Made in a SAL with my group Bound Together.
 It now has a border made of the same ombre print as the star and the inner border. 

Ohio Star flag, I don't remember the designer.

My first quilt.

This might not look that patriotic but I sewed flags instead of the solid blocks of fabric that the pattern called for.  It's was a Mystery BOM  called Piece and Plenty from Fat Quarter Shop online.


My first "Women of Grace and Charm" designed by Blackbird Designs.

My 2nd "Women of Grace and Charm" quilt.  I like this one better, I think it's because it's just a little lighter.  But I like the center of the other one better - sigh


I think this is my absolute favorite backing.  It is the backing for the 2nd "Women of Grace and Charm" quilt above.






I have one other one that I didn't include.  It's because there is a big glaring mistake in it and I'm going to have to unpick the quilting, reverse the offending strip, and then quilt that place again.  It's not something I look forward to.

Have a happy flag day!

The backing fabric you like so well would be a favorite for me had I ever seen any of it.

The first quilt you show, I think is Jan Patek's Country Paths. My friend and I were thinking of making it. She has all the fabric. Me, I would have to dig and stash and use something else. I enjoyed seeing all the quilts in your post. Nice collection.

A great assortment of R/W/B quilts, Robin! I haven't pulled mine out yet, but they are all small. You have lovely ones that would actually keep a person warm!

What a lovely lot of patriotic quilts! I like each one of them, so much! Jan Patek's design is a favorite, and Piece and Plenty, the first Women of Grace and Charm, and of course, Sweet Land of Liberty! After that, I like all the rest. LOL How wonderful to have such a great collection.

Not much sewing around here

The time for getting new flooring is almost here.   This is my tiny living room that no longer has that carpet on the floor.  My husband tor...
