This one is called The Red, White and Blue because my daughter kept saying she had 'issues' with it being Red, White and Blue. I completed this quilt with one Jelly Roll, two Charm packs, 3/4 yard of the Red border and the Blue border fabric as well as 1/2 yd of a light cream for the sashing. Made with Sandy Gervais Zippity Doo Dah Moda line, it finished at 68 1/2 inches square.
I actually lost alot of the love I had for this one while I was piecing the blocks (remember my commentary on cutting and then auditioning the fabric on my design wall) but when I finally put on the borders...
It won me over. Now I have to baste it and get it quilted. Maybe I can call it my September project too!

Great pattern - love the stars in the sashing!
I need CPR! I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE it!
I really like it and love the colors. It's going to look great once it's quilted and washed.
I love the pattern and the fabrics, too. It's such a pretty quilt. Congratulations on getting it done!
Amazing what a border can do! I had the same experience recently. Your quilt is wonderful! I can see why you may have gotten tired of it in the process, but in the end it came to a beautiful finish!
Thanks for your advice on my blog. I couldn't respond as you are set for "no reply".
This looks spectacular. I love the piecing, the applique, and the borders...great finish!
I like the way the tan calms the RWB. Stunning!
The patriotic quilt is a hit with me. I like the stars that are added to the quilt.
It is wonderful! Did you use a pattern, and if so, can you tell me what it is? I would love to make it for my sister-in-law!
