I really liked the quilt that I made using a pattern called Fly The Flag by Amy Smart. I wanted to use up some of the red/white/blue fabrics so I used my Go Baby die cutter from Accuquilt to cut out the star block pieces. I do have the Studio cutter but the little cutter is handy to have by my sewing machine to cut up small pieces of leftover fabrics.
Once I had the star blocks completed I needed to redesign the original pattern to work with these larger stars. Some math was involved! Anyway, I ended up with a quilt that finished at approximately 89" x 97". I backed it with a fabric from the Autumn Grove collection by Bob Fair for Wilmington. I machine bound the binding.
The pantograph quilting is called Heatwave from Urban Elementz. I used Glide thread in the color Cardinal. I do like the way it turned out.
I made a matching pillowcase to store it in until I decided to sell the quilt.
Here's wishing you all a peaceful summer.
