Patriotic Quilt Top
 

I completed this top this morning. The volunteers coordinator at the senior center requested some as a 'special project'. I told her I could commit to one a month as I still want to donate to the cancer center.
I just love this pattern... so easy and I can make them quickly... you know... like on an assembly line. And I got to use my new Quilters Select square up ruler [ https://quiltersselect.com/products/...uilting-Rulers ] purchased in Arkansas on my recent vacation to visit my elderly parents. I just love this ruler... it has thin marked lines and a backing that simply will not slip when cutting. They are designed by Alex Anderson and distributed only in LQSs to support local shops.

Looks like a winner. Just squares and 1/2 sq tr. What size are your squares? And what size is the over all quilt? Or is this a pattern you can not share? It sure is beautiful and interesting.

A nice looking quilt! What is the pattern name?

That is nice! Lots of movement, but a straight forward layout, and any size squares will work!

I cut 18 red squares at 5.5" and 18 scrappy squares at 5.5". I HST either side of the diagonal line and square up to 5". I cut 72 scrappy squares and sew them into the 9 patches and lay out in the pattern, then sew together. it ends up 40.5x54. borders can be added as desired. i make it this size so the backing does not have to be pieced.

this is the block

Very attractive design...

Very nice quilt and love how the red just peeks out and makes a statement and adds a little pop to your quilt.

Love the colors. Great movement is the design.

Nancy, the charity I sew for makes this exact size -- we too do not want to have to piece the backing. Love this pattern, will have to "borrow" this one.
