Norene's Old Glory Eagle

Norene made this patriotic quilt from a printed panel.

She added some very wide borders in solid yellow and red fabrics that were just begging for some custom quilting.

I divided up the red border with a funky blade feather and large pebbles around the outside.

I piano-keyed the printed striped border.

I outlined the panel elements and filled in with swirls. This quilt is going to a grandson to be used, so I still wanted it to be more on the cuddly side rather than the cardboard side of the quilting spectrum.

I French-fried the yellow border. Ha! At least that's what it reminds me of. I used a ruler to make 1/2 inch lines in random angles.

I used matching threads in red, yellow, blue and a little bit of brown.

The back.

Thanks Norene!
