This is the second to the LAST Finished ( or not) Friday for 2022!!!! Last week you all had a Ton of finishes.... shall we keep it going???
I started this 16 patch quilt back in August - it was inspired by an Antique photo.... and of course, I had to do it in Patriotics
but then... I wondered how I should quilt it - and ... this is what I came up with!
I chose to load it longways, and quilt in long rows.
The Top and the bottom have patriotic scenes (I think they are Judy Lyon designs - she shared them on the QOV members page and I thought they were cool)
and in the Middle two white rows I quilted the words,
In the Colored rows I quilted Stars and flags...
And Ta-da!!! The finish!!!
Now it is your turn!!
Link up your finishes:
AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Very cool quilting. Congrats on another finish before the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteLove the whole quilt- fabric and quilting! The blizzard/storm just started here. I am in the cross hairs of Lake Effect and high winds (55-70) this time in Buffalo. Praying we do not lose power. All Christmas plans cancelled.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very special quilting design and you had the perfect space for it between the patriotic scrappiness. Great job! Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I LOVE your most recent finish! How many 16 patch blocks are in each row? Also think the quilting is super cool..GREAT JOB! Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteThe quilting on this one is just fabulous, Alycia! Gorgeous quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is just perfect. If we don't chat beforehand, I hope you and your family have a very cozy and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHave a merry Christmas Alycia. Love how you finished this scrappy beauty up!
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard of 16 patch...really neat. Another great finish, Alycia, and I love those little pops of yellow too. I had a look back at the vintage inspiration. THanks!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, Alycia, I love this one! And the quilting is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, perfect idea for the quilting!
ReplyDeleteNo more finishes for me this year. Well, unless I have a chance to work on more clothing for the girls' teddy bears. I am cutting pieces for my next quilt which needs to be done by mid-January. It is a simple pattern though so I should be ok.
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt Alycia. Fun way to use loads of small squares.
Happy Christmas!!
What a great quilt! I was also inspired by the antique/vintage quilt you shared. Your quilting design and placement are terrific! It's such a great idea I sent a link to your blog to my quilting buddy who does long-arm quilting. Thank you, Alycia!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh! Not only a cool use of small blocks (which would look so cool in any scraps, but patriotic, oh my!), but possibly the coolest quilting I have ever seen! Thank you for inspiring me all year long, and thank you for giving us a venue to share our accomplishments and get to know others who share our passion. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and all of your family! The quilting in the white areas of that quilt is fantastic! Love the words.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt you've built!!! Merry Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, I love how you quilted your lovely quilt! That is so effective. I hope that you are having a great Christmas! Take care.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt and love the quilting too.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
