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
