My great grandma Winter made this quilt. It is pieced and quilted by hand. My guess is that she made it sometime in the 50's.

What does Liberty mean to me? We enjoy Liberty & Freedoms because 13 colonies joined together to fight a Tyrannical King. This quilt has eleven blocks plus two borders (13) surrounded by a swirling blue sea & bound in “blood drops.”
I fell in love with this pattern and fabric choices. I had lots of fun making this quilt. Character names, left to right row 1, Alex and Susie, row 2 Beatrice and Carl, row 3 Emma, Steve and Gloria.
I love stars and I love paper piecing. When I saw this made up at Glacier Quilts in Kalispell, I knew I had to make it.
This was a fun quilt to make and I was happy with the end result. Pics of my quilt were taken off Facebook without permission and used on a couple different sites to promote the pattern. I was not sure if I should be ticked or flattered.
Originally this quilt is very spring colored with a white background. I envisioned a dark background. As I was piecing it, I thought it looked Asian, so I changed the greens to cork to emulate bamboo. The quilting patterns are from Sweet Dreams.
I first saw this pattern from the late Donna Jordan on YouTube. This was a fun pattern to put together. The quilting pattern is an extended width pattern called Vortex from House of Creations. I was really pleased with how this quilt turned out.
