That is a truly wonderful project....I will have to go find this pattern and add it to my "list".....and the fact that it came all from your stash .... a "freebie'... WOW !!! Talented AND frugal !! You win.

Love it you did a beautiful job. the quilt top I just finished was a free bee but I enlarged the size of the blocks and the on I have just made my test block for are both out of my stash(it's mostly left overs from other quilts) love it then I don't feel bad to buy new fabric later (:

I found the advertisement in "Quiltmaker" March/April 2014 issue. There was another site listed in the ad - swatchandstitch.com. Hope this answers everyone's questions. My second quilt was a civil war quilt and I had fabric left over (and all of you said "save the extra" fabric) and that is what I used to make this quilt.

Thank you so much for the link, have the pattern printed. Was drafting my own pattern but now I can go shop my stash to create one. I know I have some red toile---somewhere.

Best compliment I can give is I wish it were mine!

RedGarnet222 03-22-2014 08:40 AM

What a great pattern. It reminds me of the original thirteen colonies of the United States of America since it has the thirteen stars in the large center star motif.

I really like this quilt. I like that it is a "large scale" pattern without a lot of small pieces. I also like the colors. Very nice.
