This flag quilt was made with swapped blocks from the first group I was part of. It's some of my beginning work and I find it so appropriate to get out now and display.
In this small group, we each made 16 of the same blocks using our choice of fabric. The flags had to be a certain size and framed with a tan fabric. Well, there were a few newer quilters and directions weren't followed. But that's maybe what makes the quilt so meaningful. Everyone did there best. Some are more detailed and the plain ones are just as pretty. It was meant to be a scrappy quilt.
We could complete the quilt as we chose. Some made table runners, but most of us put the 16 blocks into a quilt. I can almost remember which block was made by who (bad grammar).
Our prayers are with France and the entire world.

I found a great print for the back. Since at that time I was limited to stitch-in-the ditch, I wanted to hide the stitching on the back. For the border I did some big stitched stars in a lighter tan.
