Last year for the Fourth of July, I made The Anchor Quilt…
I intended to stitch a few more Americana quilts that were swirling in my head, but summer slipped away…
This year, I challenged myself to work in series–create several free motion quilts with a patriotic theme.
One way to help unify a group of quilts is to limit the supplies: In this challenge, I limited myself to a piece of Robert Kaufman Kona fabric in Riviera blue and Sulky Rayon thread in pale yellow.
This flag quilt was a simple way to begin the series…It is 7″ x 10″. The Greek Key free motion quilt motif may be found in the weekly tutorials and is one of my favorites.
The second quilt is a bit larger…USA is 20″ x 15″….
Tomorrow…More of The Patriot’s Challenge…Working in Series...
And there’s still time to join me!
Choose one color fabric: red, white or blue?…and one thread…YOUR country…
…and crown Thy good with brotherhood…
