Last week I spent some time quilting a top I had been 'storing'. :-o I just quilted an all-over stars and loops design for this one, and I let hubby choose the backing since this is kinda 'his quilt'. ;-)
This is actually the 2011 HGTV BOM and we called it 'Stars in the Barn Door'. I drew up all the 6 inch blocks in my EQ7 program and presented them every month, then drew up the way I wanted to finish my quilt too. I love how it turned out (and hubby does too) ;-)
The quilt measures 90.5 x 90.5 inches.
The backing is from Connecting Threads. :-)
This is my first patriotic quilt, but it won't be the last! I love decorating the house for holidays!
Thanks for stopping by~
Until next time
Happy Quilting!!

It looks wonderful. Great job.
A perfect quilt for summer display. I am pulling fabrics today for a patriotic quilt.
Wow, another wonderful and HUGE quilt! It's beautiful Sandie! Quilted and bound even! You are a rock star!
Just lovely!
Pretty, pretty, pretty . . . and I love the name you gave it. Patriotic quilts always catch my eye, but I have a real love of star blocks. Using them inside the barn door block is a great idea.
it's great! love the pattern. and woo-hoo on finishing, that's a big one!
That looks great!!!! Love the backing fabric!! Huge Hugs!! Yup, I am back!! ;)
Love it! And DH did a good job with choosing the backing.
A great quilt and how nice that hubby now has his own quilt. I made a patriotic one too. Several years ago, hubby liked it so much, it too became his quilt. And believe me when I say he let's everyone that its HIS quilt.
Awesome!!! I have yet to make a patriotic quilt but I have the fabric. :o)
Hubby has good taste in quilts ... as does my Crazy friend :) NICE patriotic :)
Love all the different centres. Is hubby going to claim it?
