UFO completed in time for the 4th of July
 

I started this quite a few years ago-maybe 7- and always thought I would make more blocks to make it throw or bed quilt size. Realizing that it wasn't going to happen, I decided to add some borders and get it finished in time for the fouth.


The original pattern is "Anniversary Stars" from Evelyn Sloppy's book 40 Fabulous Quilts, c. 2005.

Finished with the binding today and had the help of my DH to get it hung in it's place of honor.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Yippee another completed project. Looks great. Love the scrappy blues and reds to add dimension to your quilt. Peggy

terrific looking quilt. glad you finished another UFO

great job! I like the colors of your quilt.

I love it and so perfect for the 4th!!

Stunning !!! Just love your quilt, thanks so much for sharing.

Very nice, that pattern would also make a good wounded soldier quilt. You did a good job.

Spectacular! Love the size too.

This is a Beautiful wall hanging. Sew happy you finished it in time for the 4th. Great job.

I love it. Cross this one off your UFO list ASAP. Have a great 4th.

Great quilt! you can use it for Memorial weekend and Veterans Day as well. Great job!

It's lovely!

I really like that. Even if you didn't get a bed size quilt out of it your final product is beautiful. Great job..

You just gave me an idea! I have that book, too (don't you LOVE it?!?!) & I make QOV's, so that would be a perfect fit. This quilt is just spectacular & perfect for the 4th! Kudos on finishing a UFO!

I really like stars... nice

Love it. I think it can hang there all year and be appropriate.

Hooray for finishing a UFO-Love the blending in the background-it's super

Beautiful!!!!

Wow! Great wallhanging!!

You've made a very lovely wall quilt. Looks great.

That's a lovely tribute to our country -- great quilt!

Beautiful! I think you made a great decision to complete it as a wall hanging- great job!

Ohhh...that's a beauty!

Oh its beautiful!! I love it!

I agree that would make great wounded warrier quilt and I love patriotic stuff. Really like it.

Very pretty !!

That is really pretty and perfect for the 4th!

Very nice wallhanging, looks like it belongs there. Always nice to get a UFO completed.

You did a fantastic job on this quilt! It's a very good choice for a patriotic quilt. I'll have to check my copy of the book to see how she had done hers. This would be hard to beat!

The sample in the book is in shades of Kansas Troubles light and dark golds. I have that one made in a double bed size, except for borders and finishing. That should be my next completed UFO. :)

I made one adjustment in the pattern, making sure that the Ohio Star block was completely split diagonally with the red and blue.

Thanks for all the kind comments. It feels so good to have finished it and have it hanging.

Just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing, I am an old Navy gal married to an old Navy guy so those are my ccolors
Have a Blessed day

Wow-Really beautiful quilt-Happy 4th!

That's a beautiful quilt!!

I love the simplicity of it. I also love the white against the blue and red. Kudos for making your deadline and thanks for sharing.

Those colors look outstanding against the natural wood, aside from the quilt itself being so lovely. The subtile blending of colors is masterful.

Thanks. I love to make solid appearing areas just as scrappy as I can. I never know what the word is to describe that but texture, depth, those sort of things are added to it for me. I also rarely ever use a solid fabric. White is always a white on white.

OOhhh! That's pretty! I love it! :)
