When my term as president of my l guild ended in March, the board gave me 40 (That's right, 40!) 12-inch blocks, all a friendship star variation in red, white and blue....Every hue of red and blue, I think. I decided to make a two-sided quilt with the majority of the blocks. I designed and made the applique blocks. My bee helped me assemble them. It's probably about 52" square and it's called "Celebrations of Freedom." I'm using 10 other blocks with a red and Moda blue poppy floral in a bed throw and the other four in a table mat.

That was nice of them to do that for you. I love the 2 sided quilt you made, very nice.

looks great!

Thanks so much. I just noticed that the eagle picture looks a little fuzzy and the other was a bit rumpled when I took picture. the gold border really is straight! ... So I changed out the eagle picture. It's my favorite side of the quilt. Wish you could see the details of the quilting.

What a wonderful gift.. you will always have it to treasure :thumbup:

I'm thinking it will look good in my entryway and I can switch the sides depending on the holidays--or my whims. By the way, the quilter did a a great job --with the eagle side especially, but apparently matching two sides for quilting isn't fun!

Wasn't that sweet of them. I love the quilt you made with them. That one is double beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

They are both beautiful!!!
What great gifts from your guild members :D:D:D

I agree...great quilt! :thumbup: :D

Nice job! I like the applique blocks you set in the center. They really set off the stars!
