A Little Patriotic Quilt

If you judged my patriotism by the number of red, white, and blue quilts I have in my home you would guess that I'm not the least patriotic.  I decided to fix that and make a flag quilt this week while I was between other things.


This quilt is adapted from a free Cheri Payne pattern, one she offered for a Summerthyme blog hop in 2015.  Many thanks to Cheri for sharing her talents.

The flags finish at 3" x 4" with 1" sashing and 1¾" borders.  I thought the size would be perfect for a door quilt.  In its current state -- without batting, backing, quilting, or washing -- it seems a little large but I maybe it will shrink and be comfortable on our front door.  I hope to get it layered, hand quilted, bound, and washed by or before the Fourth.  Can I do it?!  (I'm usually pretty slow....) 

This is my third quilty finish in three weeks.  I'm thrilled but I won't expect the speed of those finishes to come so regularly.

Happy Independence Day if you live in the United States of America.  Happy July 4th if you live anywhere else.
