Quickie Quilt

Lately I've been doing more stitching that quilting, but I did recently finish an easy quilt top. Here's my finished quilt top:



The fabric is the Williamsburg American Heritage collection by Windham Fabrics. LOVE IT! I've got enough fabric to make another quilt using the same fabric. I knew I just had to find the right pattern. And wha'd'ya know? I was looking at one of my quilting magazines and found a darling quilt that uses these same fabrics. It's from the Feb. 2009 McCall's Quilting Magazine, and is called Proudly We Wave, designed by Susan McDermott.




It's unusual for me to find two quilts in the same issue of a magazine that I want to make, but over the holidays I had made the quilt that was featured on the cover of this issue of the magazine. Somehow I had totally missed this patriotic quilt -- but it's now on my list, especially since I have the fabrics already.

Here's the magazine cover quilt, called "Nana's Nine Patch", designed by Lynn Lister:


And here's my version (I used black sashing strips rather than navy blue):


I absolutely love the borders.


This quilt was so fun to make! And I love the rich colors and contrast in the blocks.

    Both your quilts look wonderful Nancy. I love both of them, but for some reason the first one keeps making me go back and look at it - I do like the colors in that one.

    Your quilts are beautiful and I love the warm soothing colors as well. I think the black sashing strips really set off the colors in the 9 patches better than the navy blue.
