American Heroes

American Heroes

Today, Memorial Day, is set aside to honor those heroes who died while protecting our country.

I sewed this 44” wall hanging with red, white, and blue remnants. Simple, yet striking. 

I cut blue prints with two segments of Charming Rings die, and appliqued it to one corner of a 22” square. Then I sewed red wedge pieces together, aligned them, and appliqued. 

I carefully trimmed the excess fabric underneath before sewing all four squares together.  I quilted with white thread in diagonal lines.  

I love the result of my day of playing with scraps. American Heroes is on the wall in my dining room, alongside my other red, white and blue quilts used to decorate our home from now through July 4^th.

Today, remember the heroes.
