Red, White and Blue Mini Quilt

Here's my red, white and blue mini quilt!

About a month ago I was rearranging my books in

 my sewing room and came across one of many favorites 

books I own, "Little Quilts All Through The House," 

by Alice Berg, Mary Ellen Von Holt and 

Sylvia Johnson.  It's a cute book filled with 

lots of photos and you can use your scraps too!   

Flipping the pages, I came across this quilt.

Well, I just had to make it!  Forth of July was 

coming up and I've always wanted to have a 

quilt for every holiday!  I gathered up my 

materials, fabric I already owned.  Yeah!!!  

Cut and sewed my strips together.

Instead of sewing individual blocks and hearts

 on my mini quilt as directed on the pattern, 

I decided to just cut the size of the finished

  block with my star fabric.  I sandwiched 

the batting with the front and back fabric.  

I then used a decorative wave stitch just on 

the star area of the quilt. 

I then used a straight stitched on the rows of 

red and white strips.  I used the width of 

my walking foot to determine the 

width between stitches. 

Here's a look at the back of my mini quilt.
