There were some great red, white and blue quilts at the Surfside Quilters Guild meeting today. We have just this month started providing quilts for Wounded Warriors, a group devoted to having each wounded service person covered with a quilt when they are transported from a conflict area to a stateside or European based hospital. Those quilts should be 48" x 78" to fit on the gurneys. But these different sized quilts are great inspirations. http://patrioticheartstringsquiltingproject.blogspot.com/
Our speaker this month was Lyn Brown http://www.lynbrown.com/ who teaches in north Orange County and creates patterns which are available in her Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/lynbrowndotcom
"Chains of Friendship" a pattern by Lyn Brown. This quilt has her "Borders on Blocks" technique which builds the borders onto the blocks before they are assembled.
"Old Glory" Lyn Brown pattern 64"W x 46"L (but it could be made larger or smaller with re-sized blocks)
"Hooray, U.S.A" - Judy de Gruy showed this at Show & Tell. She made it for her red, white & blue patriotic guest room. It was quilted by Carol Kaplan.
Monica Shafer shared this quilt from a pattern featured on the cover of American Patchwork and Quilting. It was one of the first quilts that she made.
"Patriotic Star" wallhanging made by Maggie Bell from a pattern by Judy Hasselkus. (not a good picture, sorry!) This piece is about 18" square.
"Come Home Safe - We Love You" Victoria Crayne
A collection of patriotic blocks - a great Uncle Sam on a bicycle!
