Patriotic Wallhanging

Finished this small quilt and I’m thrilled - and amazed - to have it hanging on the wall before the holiday. 

I designed this based on a pattern-less picture I saw on Pinterest (more info here). The half-square triangles are 3” unfinished and the final piece measures 19” x 39”. 

 Pin basting on the ping pong table. As you do. 

I’ve been taking monthly free-motion quilting classes since April and that gave me the confidence to try quilting this myself. 

It’s not perfect (!) but I’m very pleased with how it turned out. 

The girls helped me take pretty pictures - 

and a couple of “oopsie” pics; 

poor Jac fell going out the door but refused to give me the quilt until I took her picture like I’d promised. 

The new quilt hanger* also arrived today, so this little flag is flying proud in our entryway. Happy almost Fourth of July, y’all!

* I love the bamboo hangers My Pal Reyna uses, so shamelessly copied her and ordered some for myself.
