Patriotic Quilt Book Giveaway

It's that time of year again -  time to make red, white and blue quilts for the upcoming holiday season. Here are some ideas for you to celebrate your love of Americana from a new book, Oh Glory - 11 Quilt projects to Salute the Stars and Stripes  by Kathy Flowers.

 

If you love red, white and blue, then you'll love this book!

Kathy is letting me give away a free copy of her book to one lucky quilter.  Leave me a comment and you can enter your name to win. 



If you're like me, you enjoy changing the quilts in your home to match the seasons. Oh Glory includes quite a few projects to brighten up your home around the summer holidays, many of them with the scrappy look we love. There's a nice selection of quilts in different sizes that use a variety of red, white and blue fabrics and traditional blocks.





This quilt that uses a Martha Washington Star block combined with a Friendship Star is probably my favorite. Which one is yours??


I love the look of red, white and blue in quilts.


Leave me a comment with your name and make sure you include your e-mail or a way for me to reach you so I can let you know you've won. (If your comment says "Anonymous" then, sorry, I will have to pass over it and go on to the next one chosen at random. Just sayin'.)  I'll announce the winner on Friday. Good luck!

This is a book that I will have to look for. Everything looks so happy and bright. What is nice about small quilts is that they fit anywhere. I love tucking them in unexpected places, even on the refrigerator where it always looks messy with just paper on it.
