Here are two quilts I have been working on.  This first one was a block of the week that I did from Corn Wagon Quilts.  It took five weeks.  Each week I would pick up the next block.  Was real easy and fast.  Love the cake block, because of the pinwheels.  Everything in the quilt just screams summer and all  that goes with it.  This is a KimberBell pattern.  They have some cute patterns.  Check them out.

This quilt is called, "Flag of Valor", By Minick and Simpson.
Was fun to make.  I think this is all for now with my patriotic quilts.  I do love making them. Pin It

I love Patriotic Quilts!

 Can you feel that I love Patriotic quilts?  Of course anything that has red in it, I'm there.  This quilt was a Saturday sampler I did 3 years ago (I think) from American Quilting.  One of my favorites.  Don't look at the mistake.  I think everyone of my quilts has a hiccup in it. Oh well. That is what makes them unique.

 This one is from a book called, "Women of Grace & Charm".  A quilting tribute to the Women who served in WWII.  By Barb Adams and Alma Allen.  Has a lot of stories.  Good reading, and some beautiful quilts.

 I had fun making this one.  The pattern is from "Simple Choices", by Abbey Lane Quilts.  I love doing log cabin, so this is called a "wonky" log cabin.  I decided to do circles with a star on top.  They have frayed edges.  Making this quilt went pretty fast.
The picture below shows the block.

 This quilt was a kit that I picked up in Tucson, Az., when I was there last summer.  Yes I am originally from Tucson, was there visiting family.  I think it screams summer.  It was very quick and easy.
 I saw this wreath on Pintrest.  My daughter Brooke had pinned it.  I knew I had to make it.  Put my own spin on it.  The flowers are easy to make.  Maybe I will do a tutorial on them.  The wreath form is made out of a pool noodle.  Go figure!  Find the instructions here at Fox Hollow Cottage.
Well that's it for now.  Working on another Patriotic quilt.  Will show it soon. Pin It
