Patriotic Mini Quilt!


Voting is still open for Patriotic Quilts at This-n-That Fabrics, be sure to place you vote. Just click on the vote button next to your favorite quilt. I was fortunate enough to win a gift certificate from a previous quilt contest that they had and one of the things I got was a mini pack of Old Glory Gatherings  .
I decided it was the perfect time to use it and make a mini quilt. I kept it simple and added a few appliques for fun. The basket from a Patek book, the flower from Whimsicals and the flag, I just added.

I am not sure if it is too busy? Too many of the same colors? It is pouring today, so I tried different lighting but I could not get rid of the contrasty look. I used all of the precuts, except for 4, so it shows what you can do with a mini pack.

I love this mini quilt! Do you hang yours on the walls or use them as table pieces, or something else? Definitely not too busy-it's perfect.

Perfect. Just perfect! I mean your new little quilt. It will make a good companion piece to go along with the eagle quilt you just made.

I don't think it's too busy. The lighter background behind the flower and flag draws the eyes so they aren't missed. Love it, Another hit!

If you decide you just can't live with it, I could find a place for it really fast in my home. LOL I love it and see nothing that isn't perfect!
