Military Quilt plans

[Laurie Stone]

Can you all tell me what would be a good pattern for red white and blue military quilt. i have all kinds of prints and variations of the 3 colors....my dad was in the navy, but i just want a red white and blue quilt....i figure if i start now i can get it to msqco and returned quilted by July.....i work full time. ive already made the double slice so i want to try something different.....i like the cheater cathedral window.....

The Big Star (Jenny's tutorial) would look great in red, white and blue! Or there is also her tube pattern that works very well with three colors!

I love the chevron pattern and think it might look great for this project

I love the eagle in Star Spangled Favorites by Quilt in a Day: Star Spangled Favorites - Quilt in a Day Books

I have made the eagle before and it's not hard. You could have it as the center block and then add the star block around it till you have the size you want.

I think this one would look even better as a scrappy quilt. I've had this top done for moths and at this point I am hoping to have it done by July.

Edit: I forgot to add, this is a single irish chain with piano key border.

I did the serendipity quilt tutorial in red white & blue & it turned out really well. Can't get picture to upload

thanks i will look at them all

I like them all. Im not an advanced quilter so Im looking for an easy quilt that LOOKS complicated lol. My least favorite part is the cutting out so the less cuts I have to make the better LOL....and I dont have precuts. ugh! Ive been buying yardage for a year or so......but Im a nursing home supervisor so I think Im going to make a wall hanging...but I will most likely have enough for a quilt too....here's what Im looking to start on today.....

I'm getting ready to work on a quilt for my nephew in Red White (cream) & Blue. I'm thinking of maybe using the Planet Patchwork Mystery - but it's a lot of HST, maybe not good for a beginner who's just learning.

I've done a couple of quilts for soldiers now - one was Fourth of July - a Bonnie Hunter Free Pattern and the QOV 10th Anniversary Block You can see pictures in my Quilts for Soldiers album. I tend to shy away from quilts that look like flags though - something creepy about seeing a soldier sleeping under a flag.

i never thought about that kathy that IS creepy....i want to make a flag wall hanging for the nursing home. I decided for my QUILT im gonna spend today cutting my stash in 2-1/2 strips for the intention of making the 3 DUDES quilt. It looks so fun and easy and you can flip flop them any way!!!! Ill post pics as I go....(if I can figure out how)
