Veteran's Day
 

My Husband wanted an American Flag quilt. So I began by showing him various images of QOV online. He didn't like any of those, said he just wanted a flag. (I had more fun doing the back of the quilt than the front!). Finished it in time for Veterans Day.

Spectacular!

Fantastic!!!

That's awesome, and I love the back!

Thank him for his service. Can't beat the good old American Flag. It's stood the test of time and keeps on waving.

What a great tribute. Your husband should be very happy with this one. Coming in at just the right time too.

nicely done

What a tribute... and meaning even more coming from his wife! That turned out spectacular!

And i absolutely thank him for his service... along with policemen, firefighters, EMS workers, reserve police officers, and corrections officers. Please chime in if i have forgotten anyone!

They all keep us safe both at home and abroad and i could not imagine a world without any of them!

I am sure he is very pleased. Both sides are perfect.

Thank you for his service!!

Oh you really did! it looks wonderful. I"m sure he loves it.

Very Nice, Great job !

Love both sides, you did a great job!

You have done him proud with this quilt. It is truly beautiful, both sides. How did you do the 5 point star? Also the eagle head? It is all very neat and shows beautifully on the navy fabric.

Fabulous! Thank him for his service and you for making that quilt for him.❤️

You did an amazing job on that!

Thank you everyone! He hasn't let go of it all evening/night/morning!

Toogie - the star is a variation of the friendship star. The points are just a red half square triangle with blue and white quarter square triangles. I made them the traditional way of sewing squares, then cutting down the diagonal to get the triangles, so the final cut was a red square paired with a square of blue and white half square triangles, then sewed and cut on the diagonal again. (that's why the direction of the white points alternate.... that was not planned, just how it came out when I cut the squares).
I found the pic of the eagle online, printed and enlarged it to size, then traced it on white, cut it out and appliqued on. the hardest was lining up all the individual pieces properly, I just eyeballed it....there is probably an easier way.

Wow! those are amazing!

That’s a fantastic quilt

Amazing job! I love the back as well

Awesomely done! I love the back too!

Beautiful and tell him we honor his service!!

Terrific quilt! Please thank him for his service.

Wow....this is gorgeous! Please thank your husband for his service!

Beautiful RW&B quilt. I bet your husband is so pleased with his gift.

He got just what he wanted and it is beautiful.

First my family and I would like to thank him (and you) for his service. This is an awesome quilt. BrendaK

I'm sure he loves it, but I agree with you the back is outstanding! Love that it can be enjoyed double sided
