Beautiful! I'm working on my red/white/blue swap gift right now, a table runner and 10 placemats, she's got a big family :) I'm using the Nautical & Nice by Sandy Gervais and followed Rachel Griffith's D9P for the table runner and decided to do it for the placemats also :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the quilt and the quilted stars you added... thanks for sharing and God Bless our troops!

Great quilt! I love the patriotic colors :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the stars all over this quilt. And the label is very fitting.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great quilt! My first quilt I made was red, white and blue, so I'm partial to those.
ReplyDeleteCute quilt and your Mom just gave me a reason to have to have an embroidery machine! That tag is adorable. I just last night wrote on my new project with a permanent marker and washed it right away before setting it in and it is now a big blur...that wouldn't happen with an embroidery machine!
ReplyDeleteHey, I have this quilt pattern! So cool to discover it's yours! Love the stars scattered among the jelly roll strips, and the quilting design. Such a perfect summer quilt.
ReplyDeletei love the quilting on this!!! so fun
ReplyDeleteso, i'm a little inexperienced in the quilting world.... how did you do loops and stars? on a machine? is it something you program it to do? wow. i love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat quit Julie, I do love the simple strippy quilts with a the accents to jazz them up. They really let the fabric show off and yur quilt is great, a very fun touch.
ReplyDeletetiffanie,
ReplyDeletei have a mid arm quilting machine that i use to do most of my quilting.... info on my machines can be found here it makes is so that you can think of the quilting as "drawing" on the quilt... so i drew the loops and stars with thread.
i hope that answers your question!
Darling patriotic post....love your quilting!
ReplyDeleteOh Julie I love this! Thanks for sharing today especially.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your RWB today. Fun projects too, the stars look twinkly (is that a word?). Oh and thanks for the info on the mid arm machine! ;]
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love your label too!
ReplyDeletei always enjoy seeing red, white and blue. very nice work.
ReplyDeleteLove the patriotic quilt and table runner. I hope u had a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteI just love that quilt. How fun!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I have some of that fabric, made a table runner and love it...but I gave it away :( Love your quilt and the star and swirlys are perfect!
ReplyDeleteNice! I especially love that little table runner!
ReplyDeleteLovin' that quilt! I love the stars and stripes... and the quilting. Each section getting it's own color? Brilliant! Love the loops and stars. Very cute.
