Description:
Gettysburg Memorial is a 56 inch square quilt featuring nine twelve-inch blocks and four eight-inch corner blocks. Five blocks place fussy-cut flag motifs inside layered triangle units, alternating with four pinwheel-centered blocks. Red paisley frames the center, and pieced borders combine blue star squares with red stripe triangles. The upper and lower corners use different block constructions, incorporating the stripe-with-words fabric and smaller pieced units around the quilt’s outer edge.
