Patriotic quilts?
 
I'm looking for your patriotic quilts. The ones where you've made stars and stripes. If you have one that looks like a flag that would even be better!

I've tried the search feature and haven't had any luck.

Thanks much!

Eventually I'll have a quilt for my bed for each month of the year. I have about half done and the others are either pretty much planned and waited for their turn to be pieced or quilted.

I think this came from a Better Homes and Garden magazine. It was the first year that border fabric came out, originally it was going to be more of a couch sized than bed sized and then I decided to make it larger and as often happens -- the fabric was completely out of stock.

Very pretty!

Any thoughts on where I can find patterns for them?

I tried doing a search for "free patterns for quilts of Valor". There were several sites listed. Here is one: Free Quilts of Valor Patterns – BOMquilts.com If you click on one of the quilts shown, the pattern will pop up. These are labeled "for personal use only"

Attachment 636768 A friend and I designed and made this.
The stripes are waving in the wind. There are 5 stars for the 5 military branches. The center represents the statue of Liberty with 7 spikes for immigrants from the 7 seas. There's an eagle. Obviously my toes didn't need to be in the picture. I think the quilting had just been finished. It's been gifted to a veteran of the Viet Nam conflict.

Moda has a lot of free patterns. There are at least 6 that are red, white & blue.
