I found a photo of my top online at an old site I hadn’t visited in years — this was a quilt made back in 2001 and somehow my only copies of it were lost.  Funny but I’d forgotten that I used Friendship Stars, that I’d put a border of stars on the bottom, and thought I’d used a narrow border between the stars and as you can see the order of my rails was Cream/Red/Blue rather than Red/Cream/Blue as shown above and in the pattern.

At any rate, I guess we can consider the quilt above a variation of the original!

  • Love this pattern. Can’t wait to make one. I have made several blocks for QOV but not an entire quilt.

    As an American living in Canada, this is a must quilt to make. It will go to my daughter who lives in Massachusetts. You live much farther north than we do!!! Thanks for the great pattern.

  • I love this quilt – I love RED_WHITE & BLUE so I really love this quilt. Thank you for sharing.

    This was my second quilt that I made. It turned out beautiful. I made it to be given away and was very sorry to say good-bye to it. The directions were great and they were not to hard to follow. I’ll have to make another!
