This beauty gave me a little more trouble than it should have but in the end I think it came out wonderful! Will be perfect to lay on and watch the fireworks on the 4th of July! Still trying to decide on a good name for it

the red and blue squares.. those are stars.. but they look like polka dots on my screen :D

That looks great - I have to admit - I would hate to bring it to the fireworks!! lol

suebee 05-27-2011 12:55 PM

I think God Bless America is a great name!

CorneliaVa 05-27-2011 12:55 PM

Really nice coordination of colors and patterns .... great job.

Sooooo, you plan to sit on it to watch the Fireworks! Hurrah for YOU! ....

Don't be surprised to have the quilt police upbraid you for using the quilt so casually .... just smile

Mine are for USING .... but there are those who don't think I cherish mine quite enough if I use them for a picnic on the lawn with the grands ..... especially when they see they ARE hand-quilted. Oh, MY!

:lol:

Yep... sounds like a great name to me

What a beauty. I love the construction of your quilt. God Bless America really does sound like a good name. (And, I think it's perfect for watching fireworks!)

maryel 05-27-2011 01:05 PM

Maggie_1963 05-27-2011 01:08 PM

HAHA! Im sure they would lol! Never fear I have a huge blanket that would be going underneath it (though i always "double blanket" when im sitting on the ground) :D Besides for me when i see a quilt being used it just makes me smile and go start up a conversation. To me it means they are loved and admired. Heck my hand sewn and quilted one keeps my DH toes warm at night since I aparently steal the covers. >.>

From the North Texas area! Havent decided where we will be watching them yet.. maybe a lake area.. I do love seeing the reflections of the fireworks off of the water <3

Nanamoms 05-27-2011 04:42 PM

Love it!! Patriotic is my favorite style!

watson's mom 05-27-2011 04:47 PM

Love it, it's a great quilt. We watch fireworks as part of the "Freedom Fesival". a week long celebration of friendship and freedom between the U.S. and Canada. There are two or three huge barges stationed on the Detroit River and around 9:45 to 10:p.m. the fireworks start. The fireworks are spectacular and both sides of the river are lined with people enjoying the show. I can see where your beautiful quilt would be perfect for sitting on the lawn of Dieppe park that night. Thank you for sharing.

Jazzmyn 05-27-2011 04:49 PM

Very Pretty........I was going to say "God Bless America" for the name but someone already did.

mtnative 05-27-2011 06:05 PM
