Freedom Flight Quilt
1 Attachment(s)
My donation to the local Freedom Flight organization that takes WW2 vets to Washington DC to see their memorial. Each participant gets a patriotic quilt upon their return. This was a pattern that said it took 6 hours to make the top....me = longer :-) I did machine quilt it myself, which I usually don't like to do, but it wasn't THAT big.

I am not into contemporary quilts but this looks great !! I am sure someone will be honored by receiving your quilt. My Dad fought in the Pacific but died in '88 before quilts were being made for WWII vets.
|
Pretty, love the design, I never heard of the cause, but sounds like a great one.
|
terrific quilt
|
OMG that is just beautiful, my Father died in 2000 and never got to participate in the Freedom Flight, he would have been so proud to go!!!
|
Great quilt!
|
Really nice! I'm sure that whoever receives it will be very pleased.
|

Beautiful! The person awarded this one will love it and be so proud for the appreciation shown.
|
That's really pretty! Did you use a wedge template......what size? what size is the finished quilt? Love the fabrics you used and the design....is there a pattern?
|

That's just a fantastic looking quilt! I love it. Could you pass along the pattern info? Thanks.

I like that a lot! The pattern does look easy, so I might have to add it to my list of to do's. I know some lucky vet is going to love it! Good job!
|
Great quilt and great cause.

|
What a beautiful !!!! :)
|
I love that pattern. What is it called?
|
gorgeous quilt and great cause..i too would like to know the name of the pattern.
|
nice job on that one -- great cause!

Looks like Fourth of July! Great pattern!

Sorry about the sideways picture! I don't know why my MAC does that sometimes. Anyway - the pattern is from Cut Loose Press designed by Erin Underwood and is called Zigs and Zags. You do need the 15" wedge ruler. The pattern called for 48 1/2" by 72 1/2" but to tell you the truth, I didn't measure the finished product. I did do it "envelope" style where you turn it inside out rather than bind. The stars aren't called for by the pattern but I saw it made up like that at Tiger Lily Quilt Company in Utica NY. Luann Corts was nice enough to let me replicate her interpretation.

What a nice quilt, I really like it. I think it would be a very good quilt to make for a guy.
|
