Happy Canada Day!



I made this miniature quilt in 2003 so that I would have something patriotic in the house for July 1st. It measures a mere 14" x 19".



This is the backing - Canada flags.

I picked up some fabric this week on sale at 50% off. It is a floral fabric with Canada flags. I hope to finish the customer quilt I have on the long arm today so that I can cut into this new fabric. I know, I shouldn't be starting something new without finishing more UFOs, but the fabric was so tempting....and this is a long weekend.

  1. Happy Canada Day to you! I have some patriotic fabrics and pattern set aside, but have not gotten around to making the quilt yet. I'm glad you have one ready to use today. I agree, I like to have something patriotic in the house on those holidays too.

  2. Happy Canada Day! Neat quilt--my, oh my how big are the 9 patch components if the quilt is that small? You could almost hang it on either side.

    Congratulations to Miss Dana--sounds like quite the evening to remember. Will she be going to university come fall?

    I like your Canada Day quilt. But then 9 patches are among my favorite ! And what neat fabric for the backing. I do think you have a really pretty national flag..*VBS* Will be fun to see what you do with the new Canadian fabric you bought.
