My mom requested a Queen Size flag quilt and I was able to get it finished before the 4th of July. I used Ohio Stars (shout out to AccuQuilt for the block dies) to increase the size of the original flag quilt (Thimble Blossoms- large size) and the American Gatherings III fabric from Moda. I also made shams since I knew it was going on her bed. I longarmed the quilt but machine-quilted the shams since I wanted the stitches around the Ohio Star and bursting out.
Here it is before getting all nice and crinkly from being washed.
Here was my sham pattern. I made the Ohio Star to match the sides and used the white background fabric for the rest.
It's too big to hold up!
This is how it fits on a full-sized bed. On the queen the flags go right up to the edges and the stars hang over.
I purchased the coordinating 108" backing fabric. You can see the star pantograph I used.
