I have many quilts that I could have chosen, especially since I've been on a "Finish it!" binge this last year but I admit that the quilt that I most love is my Red White and Blue piece.
I made this one as a Christmas present for my sister last year. I completed the top by August but it was not until I discovered Margaret from Mainely Quilts of Love that I actually had any hopes of finishing it on time.
I used a Jelly roll from Sandy Gervais' Zippity Doo Dah line and a couple of Charm packs.
The backing was made from flannel and pieced with a few left over scraps.
I also used more of the left over scraps for the binding.
The stars were appliqued leaving the edges raw so when the quilt was washed it turned all scruffy.
I love that it feels so cuddly and warm. I see it often since my sister and I share a house and she keeps it at the foot of the bed. I was really happy how this one turned out and sometimes I wish I had made one for myself but with so many gorgeous quilts waiting to be made I have trouble repeating a design. I'm thinking that the next 'favorite' quilt is just a binding away!

I love this quilt. I have a red,white and blue jelly roll I have been looking for a pattern for. The stars in the circles are what sold me. Would you mind if I used your pic in my 'wanna be' quilt file? It is only for my use so I remember what I want to make.

I can sure relate to your "current favorite" comment. My favorite changes like the weather, but most of mine don't fall out of favor, which is a good thing.
