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.
This is my United quilt pattern and I finished this particular version in 2021.
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!
