Long May She Wave by Elaine Mahaffey, quilted by Bill Barnes.
Elaine Mahaffey's quilt is based on the Bargello Flag pattern by Jackie Vujcich at Colorado Creations. This quilt was exhibited at the 2026 Quilt Arizona show in honor of this year's Theme: "Let Freedom Ring."
Elaine notes that the American flag symbolizes the liberty and freedom we enjoy in our nation. "It has stood the test of time and serves as a reminder of the price many have paid for the country we treasure. I loved the movement that was achieved in this piece by the bargello technique. It adds an exciting element and energy... I still feel a thrill when I sing "The Star Spangled Banner."
We love the way the bargello pattern creates "waves"! For more inspiration, check out the FREE tutorials and patterns at the links below!
