Christmas Tribute

 

Liz Porter's pattern for this quilt – called Hero’s Tribute – comes from QuiltingDaily.com. It calls for scraps in patriotic colors. At 56x72”, it’s an ideal size for a Quilt of Valor donation. I have lots of scraps in red, white and blue. I just wasn’t in the mood to make another patriotic quilt right now. That’s probably perverse of me. It’s been hovering around 100 degrees for weeks, and the neighbors will be setting off fireworks again tonight. All I can think of his how much I wish it was snowing. It just feels like the right time for red and green. The tiny sawtooth stars here are four inches finished. The next size up are eight, and then there are twelve-inch stars. The largest ones are sixteen inches square; the biggest sawtooth stars I’ve ever made. The plan is to donate the finished quilt to Festival of Trees in December, when I’ll probably be wishing for sunshine.
