Red, White, and Blue
 

Last year I designed a patriotic quilt with four stripes for a friend. I named it "God Bless Dianna." Here is a link to that quilt: https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictur...a-t304777.html

I wondered if I could do a better job of quilting on a second/bigger quilt with six stripes so I redesigned and enlarged the pattern. The answer is "no" on the quilting. The dense quilting that I did on the navy borders is almost invisible. I named this one "God Bless America." It finished at 68" x 86."

I had some orphan blocks left over so I put them together with the thought of making a baby quilt. After it was sewn together, it looked more like the center medallion of a larger quilt:

I didn't know where to go from there so I got some sage advice and an idea from this thread: https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f...t-t307215.html

I had plenty of patriotic fabric left over so I turned the center medallion into an 83" x 83" monster. This one I named "Grand Old Stars."

I think I've now made enough red, white, and blue quilts to last me a lifetime.

Very nice quilts and quilting!

Quite the beautiful display of patriotic quilts! You are very creative and “dress-right-dress” with your accuracy. Fabulous finish on each of your pieces - thank you for sharing!

Wow! Each one is beautiful! I'm grateful for the larger pictures so I can zoom in!

very nicely done

Beautiful quilts! I really like the quilting in the blue, and the white stars.

Beautiful work and the Red, White and Blue combinations are colors that bring out our patriotism. Thanks for sharing these works of art.

I love them both! GBA would make a great QOV.

I love R,W,B quilts. Yours turned out beautifully. Quilting is beautiful too.
