I am thankful that I have my patriotic throw pieced and ready for me to quilt. The borders and stars were sewn on tonight.
I hung it at the top of my stairs on the landing just to get these pics. My goal has been to have a seasonal quilt hung for each season. As you can see, I am really cutting it close with this one.
Hopefully, I can take it down tomorrow, make my sandwich and start quilting.
Blooms in my gardens this week
I love when my flowers are blooming, it makes me happy and brings me peace in these troubling times. Look closely at the purple coneflowers in the second row. There is a beautiful swallowtail butterfly doing his job.
I have noticed Japanese Beetles on some of my flowers and rose bushes the past few days. I have sprayed some of my flowers but want to let the pollinators work.
Thanks for stopping by - Judy.

Your quilt is terrific. I like the way you incorporated stars and stripes into the blocks.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the flower in the center of the bottom row? I love it. Your patriotic quilt is wonderful, I love it too. You are so fortunate to have a nice place to hang seasonal quilts. Thank you so much for sharing in Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteThat flower is a zinnia. It is different than most zinnias I have plants. The third pic and the 5th pic are seeds from the same package.
DeleteOh LOVE that quilt!! and it is perfect timing!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make my friend's dad a Quilt of Valor. I really like your stars. Do you mind telling me what size flying geese you made?
ReplyDeleteThere are 4 geese in each star and each of the geese is 3.5 x 6.5 unfinished.
DeleteThis is beautiful! The ladies from our church gave my husband and I a patriotic quilt for Memorial Day as we are both veterans, and I couldn't believe such generous gift. I will always treasure it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your stars, so clever use of the fabrics! Pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour patriotic quilt is beautiful! I do admire your work. Thanks for linking up and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI have a similar panel. Need to think about getting it done! Your stars are amazing! I can’t imagine the concentration it took to make all those stripe stay horizontal in the geese blocks. It’s stunning!
