Independence Day Quilt
I used red, white or beige, and blue to make this quilt. This quilt has 15 12" finished blocks, a modest beige print border, a slim navy binding, a red calico back, and a moda label. It was hand-tied with embroidery floss and the border was hand-stitched to finish it. It covers about half of a full size bed. It's meant to be a couch quilt or carry along. I almost made two quilts because the whites would look better without the beige and vise versa. I decided to stick with just one quilt because I'm not a perfectionist and I just wanted one quilt. This quilt is made up of pin wheels and stars. The 1st block is called "Square in a Star", the 2nd is one version of the traditional pinwheel, the 3rd is the "Ohio Star", the 4th is a pinwheel, the 5th is "Star of Hope", the 6th is a repeat of the 4th, the 7th is another pinwheel, the 8th is a traditional pinwheel called "Clay's Choice", the 9th is another pinwheel, the 10th is a star, the 11th is another star, the 12th is the "Ribbon Star", the 13th is a star, the 14th is "Star in a Star", and the 15th is the "Star Puzzle".
