Red,
white, and blue fabrics always look great together. I have quite a
few quilts using those colors but I keep making more.
Remnants
from other projects gave me enough material for the blocks, and I
added tiny red gingham for sashing and borders. Backing is little red
hearts on white.
The North Carolina Star die has lots of small
pieces, which are a little tricky to sew. It takes a perfect ¼”
seam to get all those intersections to match up. Jack (the seam
ripper) and I had a few tense moments until I worked it out.
Americana
finished at 48” square. I quilted with white thread, using a circle
ruler to create an allover design. I'll have this one displayed for
Memorial Day.
