USA Flag

I am in the process of making a USA Flag quilt.  It is going to be scrappy reds and creams.  The top photo is only showing the lower half of the flag -- there are six more stripes to be attached to the blue.  The blue portion is a mottled blue.  Originally, I was going to embroidery the 50 stars on the blue but I chickened out!  SEW, I bought some ready-made applique stars.  I finally got the spacing of the stars calculated and iron on.  Now, as you can see (bottom pic), I am in the process of stitching them down.  I can't wait to finish it to see how it looks.  This quilt will be a gift for my son.   I have the backing purchased and ready to go.  I can't wait to get it finished.  Stay tuned.........

I'm working on a Texas Flag quilt. At least it only has one star. I'm not sure if'd ever complete if I had to do 50. LOL

Looks good
