Brave American Warrior By: Sheryl, Missouri, USA Our country is great because we have people who are willing to sacrifice to defend it. I felt strongly that I should make a patriotic quilt for the Quilts of Valor organization to give to a wounded soldier. I wanted to say “Thank you” in my own way. Quilt size: width: 57" height: 65" |

Emma’s Hope By: Sandi Andersen, Minnesota, USA This was a fundraising quilt for Emma who was diagosed with DIPG, a rare brain cancer. Her Grandma Connie asked if my blog readers might donate blocks … and they did with all the lovely blocks you see here! The buyer gave it to Emma’s family. :-) I’m making a similar one in memory of my dad. Quilt size: width: 80" height: 106" |

Firecracker Bomb Pop By: Jen, Wisconsin, USA I bought a Candy Bar (2-1/2″ Strips) named Fire Cracker Bomb Pop & was inspired to make a patriotic quilt. It had been years since I made a patriotic quilt for myself – the last one was adopted by my Grandmother and who was I to say no!! Quilt size: width: 70" height: 90" |

Hero’s Knot By: Debbie Clarke, South Carolina, USA This was made for my guild’s Red White and Blue challenge.

O Canada By: Michelle Lovatt, Manitoba, Canada This wall hanging has everything that stands for Canada. Our Royal Mounties, lots of evergreen forests and the red maple leafs. I picked this pattern up when I was in Jasper National Park, Alberta in 2002 and finished it in 2008. It makes me smile. Quilt size: width: 27" height: 34" |

QOV-Liberty Star By: Sharon Vrooman, New York, USA I made this to hang while my nephew was on both his tours of duty in Iraq; as a reminder of our troops’ heroism and for his safe return home. The back has his photo fabric framed with dates of his tours. Now it is used on those special holidays and events. Quilt size: width: 14" height: 18" |

Red, White, Blue By: rubia, Virginia, USA I’m a novice quilter who joined a Red/White/Blue block exchange. My blocks were measuring smaller than the required size, so I didn’t submit them for the exchange and kept them. In the end, I started randomly matching up my half square triangles to make a completely haphazard design. Quilt size: width: 84" height: 84" |

Where’s the Point – Fireworks Quilt By: KimsCraftyApple, Wisconsin, USA This quilt is patriotic to me because it represents my favorite part of the Fourth of July – the Fireworks!
