Striped and Spangled: FREE pattern for QOV!

"Striped & Spangled" is an homage to our country’s flag. Based on a variation of a “stacked coins” quilt, the easy-to-sew pattern is set vertically and sprinkled with appliquéd stars. The pattern was designed by Hunter's Design Studio for the Quilts of Valor® Foundation. 

A Quilt of Valor® is an award to Service Members and Veterans who have been touched by war.  Read more about making and donating a quilt here.

American Heroes

Not everyone answers the call to serve our country. It is those rare individuals who are selfless enough to sacrifice so much so we can all enjoy the freedoms we have. We are reminded of their sacrifices on holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Here is a beautiful patriotic quilt by a local Quilts of Valor group.

Eagle Wings Quilts of Valor Bee, Sit & Sew Project, 2025

Today's quilt was a project of the Eagle Wings Quilts of Valor Bee group in Tucson, Arizona.  We love the eagles fabric panel and the corner New York Beauty blocks.  The QOV group offered quilters the chance to sit down at a sewing machine and sew a block of this quilt at the 2025 Tucson Quilters Guild show. The blocks are used to create new quilts for military service members and veterans.  

The gorgeous eagle panel is made by Sykel Enterprises, a division of Benartex, in their Thank You Heroes collection. As of this writing, the 36" x 44" panel can still be found at various sites including Amazon and on Etsy (Here and Here.)

A pattern for a different variation is offered by SewyouniquelyyoursUS on Etsy as of this writing:

May include: Patriotic quilt featuring a vibrant blue, red, and white color scheme. The central design showcases four majestic bald eagles against a backdrop of American flags. The quilt's border is adorned with a geometric pattern of red and blue triangles on a white background. This handcrafted quilt is perfect for adding a touch of Americana to any home decor.
