Happy Independence Weekend

Machine quilted - by me
In America we are celebrating Independence Day with a long holiday weekend.  Saturday is the actual DAY.

I made this quilt for the Fourth of July several years ago.  I've shared it before, I hope you don't mind.
It was a Free To Use pattern from Windham for a Mary Koval Coverlet fabric line.




Hand Applique Stars
Center - red colorway of the eagles
Backed with a coverlet reproduction fabric from the same line
Have a great weekend!

  1. The flag design is a good use of those fabrics. I had a couple pieces at one time. Never would have thought of the flag.

  3. It still looks great. Happy 4th to you.
    We remember it as the day Vicksburg fell and I am from there.

  4. What a fun quilt! Funny, nothing is closed today or Monday, so not a long weekend here in Central Oregon.

  5. I've seen a lot of flag quilts lately, but nothing like this. It is a beautiful interpretation. I love the way the red prints enhance the stripes. Thanks for showing it again. I don't recall seeing it before.

  7. I don't remember you sharing it before and even if I did I wouldn't mind seeing this beauty again. Awesome fabric! Happy 4th to you, too. I want to go to bed but the dogs are glued to my side with all the noise from fireworks. Wouldn't be able to sleep now anyway!

  10. What a great use of RW&B fabrics. I have some in my Lincoln quilt. I just love all Americana quilts and this one is really special
