United Quilt in Solids

Monday, February 17, 2025

Hi there!  I'm popping on really quick to share a quilt I said I would share.  
This is my United quilt pattern and I finished this particular version in 2021.
I have two other versions that you can see HERE and HERE.   


I decided to make this bright and happy version because I had a lot of solids in my stash that I wanted to use up.  I also think it's fun to try out different color palettes to see how different a pattern can look.  I had fun putting together different color combinations for the flags and I especially loved making the heart block!  Each star is a different blue or green color.


I had my long-arm quilter do wavy lines 
(which is one of my favorite pantos to do on a flag or patriotic quilt).  
It adds some movement to an otherwise "angular" quilt.


I love a fun quilt back and fell in love with this old Juice Carton fabric the minute I saw it.
It had a lot of my flag colors in it so I thought it tied everything together with a bit of whimsy.


The United pattern is pretty big (it finishes at 78" x 87").
So I decided to leave off the 2 borders on this one to make it a little smaller.  


I just wanted to document this version of United.
I can't believe I never posted about it before!  Better late than never!  

If you'd like to snag a copy of my United pattern you can get the paper pattern HERE
and the PDF pattern HERE.  It's a beginner-friendly pattern.

Thank you for stopping by today and happy quilting!

  1. What an interesting version! I'm currently working on one with a variegated low-volume background and enjoying the process. Also hoping to one day feel patriotic again . . . . Thank you for this great pattern and for the little kits that made the flag-making so carefree.
