I love how it's a red, white, and blue quilt without being a typical red, white, and blue quilt.

Or using a striped backing fabric could be fun?

How big did it finish? In keeping with the 4th of July theme, would looking at any photographs of fireworks inspire a quilting pattern? I'm digging around on Google images, and combined with small 5-point stars, something like that might look nice?Yvonne @ Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761104535082701259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907625648628358486.post-16241477300865525822014-07-14T21:14:56.490-04:002014-07-14T21:14:56.490-04:00It's a beautiful finish!

As for how to quilt it, I tend to navigate towards custom quilting, like outlining the stars (maybe a slight echo) and putting a design in the large square of each star. With that said, I think this would look just as good with an all-over pattern. Can't wait to see what you decide.Diana @ Red Delicious Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10157904204372685921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907625648628358486.post-32491089671087215732014-07-14T19:16:39.024-04:002014-07-14T19:16:39.024-04:00You are making me think I really should make a red...You are making me think I really should make a red, white and blue quilt.
