I finally finished the second Patriotic quilt that I've been working on since the middle of summer! If you remember, I started with a big star Patriotic quilt that came out great, and had a lot of fabric left over. It looks like I've forgotten to get some pics of the finished quilt at home when it was completed.
This is the photo someone took at my guild meeting when I was showing my quilt. It's 5 1/2 inch squares with a 2" sashing. I staggered the rows and added a half-square on the edge of each row, either at the beginning or at the end of the row.
It was quick and easy to make and I think it looks so nice. You don't even have to line up any seams! I would definitely make another quilt in this same pattern.
Here is a pic of me quilting it on my longarm. I was eager to finish it up so I just did a simple meandering stitch for quilting. I'm happy with how it turned out.
The fabrics are from the Old Glory line by Lella Boutique. I just love how bright they are and they work up so nicely for Patriotic projects.
Here's my problem - there's still enough fabric left over to make another quilt! Maybe for next summer's sewing! I'm ready to move on to the next season.
