Just completed another patriotic quilt today. The pattern is Stellar from Fabric Cafe's 3-Yard Quilts On The Double. I used a washed denim color in the center of the stars as I only had one yard of the patriotic blue print. The background was some yardage from Riley Blake. I love the off white with gold print as it was perfect with the rest of the fabrics that I used. I think it worked out very well. I had just enough yardage of the paisley fabric that I had purchased several years ago from Connecting Threads for the backing. The quilt is approximately 62" x 86". I used a polyester batting and machine quilted it with Glide Thread in the color Baby Blue. It quilted very nicely.
The pantograph that I used to machine quilt this one is called Coquina from Urban Elementz. I seem to be drawn to pantograph designs with curves.
I named this quilt "Fabulous Fourth".
I have another project cut out and waiting & just pulled 3 more projects out to cut and make as gifts. Sewing is my happy place. I hope you all find your happy place too.
