America Lives On Free Quilt Pattern by Larene Smith quilt pattern summary
- Cut the squares and piece fifteen regular blocks and fifteen star-background blocks, arranging the prints as illustrated.
- Trace and prepare the star shapes with double-sided fusible web, removing the web centers to reduce stiffness. Fussy-cut the eagle-and-flag prints and fuse stars to individual blocks, or reserve them for placement across the top.
- Alternate the blocks in six rows of five and join the rows. Add the navy inner border and red outer border, then fuse any stars reserved for scattered placement.
- Layer the backing, batting and quilt top and quilt as desired. Finish with the navy binding strips.
