I had purchased a bit of fabric that was Americana. It has barns, cows, and flags on it. I knew I had to use this in a patriotic quilt. I had the Make It Patriotic With 3-Yard Quilts book from Fabric Cafe and loved the Liberty pattern. I made the twin size pattern. The navy blue grunge was always one of my favorite fabrics and fit perfectly with the print fabric. I call this quilt "Liberty Farms".
The quilt finished at approximately 64" x 83". I machine quilted it with a pantograph called Starz and Hearts from Urban Elementz. I tried out a new poly batting and it worked alright. A little more loft than what I care for. I still prefer the Hobbs 80/20 for my quilting. I used Glide thread in the color Cardinal Red and it was fun to see the pantograph come to life on the quilt.
On to my next project!
