Without much conscious effort on my part, my sewing room is
looking very patriotic. It started when Quilts of Valor presented the Echo block
and asked for donations. I rummaged through my scraps and quickly whipped up 49
of the simple blocks. Then our quilt guild selected the United quilt from Gigi’s
Thimble for this year’s scrappy joint project, and I combed through the same
red, white and blue prints to make over 100 7-inch American flags. Bonnie and
Camille’s Early Bird quilt and Sparrows from Pen & Paper Patterns both employ
other colors, but they’re still mostly red and blue. And then there’s this little
project. It doesn’t really have a pattern. I haven’t done a postage stamp quilt
in a while, and with all these red and white and blue scraps floating about, it
just sort of happened. It might be time to clean the sewing room and move on.
