It's a flimsy!
68 x 68
The pattern is Shiloh from the book The Best of Fons and Porter Scrap Quilts.
Last year when hubby was in and out of the hospital and I had to stay close to him while he was recuperating I looked through a bunch of quilting books and bookmarked and then started several quilts.
This was one of the quilts that I thought would work well with some patriotic print scraps. After I used up most of those I added in other red, white and blue scraps.
I started this quilt and several others I had bookmarked last December. I am hoping to get them all to flimsy stage this year.
Shiloh from the book The Best of Fons and Porter Scrap Quilts was inspired by a civil war era quilt in the Smithsonian.
And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)
June 1 - Garden produce...I've been eating salad crops (lettuce, spinach, mustard greens) and strawberries from the garden nearly every day. I want to harvest peas for dinner tonight but I think it might be too wet out to mess about in the garden today.

Shiloh is gorgeous! I bet it has some heft to it too;)
You're a genius to choose red, white, and blue for this quilt pattern, Cathy. It bring to mind fireworks, perfect for our patriotic celebrations!
I love this quilt. Bravo! Putting quarter blocks on the sides to reduce the big gap is genius. Looks like your garden has a good start. Mine is not planted yet. Enjoy! ;^)
What a Pretty Patriotic Pineapple quilt! And the Produce you Picked looks delicious. (We have a couple of volunteer lettuce plants from last year that I ought to harvest.)
Another gorgeous quilt top, well done you!

Gorgeous scrappy quilt! Those colors go so well together.
It's a wonderful pattern and your colour choices make it pop! Beautiful work :)
You really know how to make good use of your time. Compared to you, I move at a snail's pace! I love the quilt. You have made a lot of progress on it. Still praying for a good report for your husband.
I love this flimsy Cathy. So dramatic. Hope all is well with John, thinking of you both.
Shilo is stunning, it has a real old style quilt look, it's going to be a treasure when you quilt.
