I would be happy to see your version of the quilt! I used only yardage, that's a lot of cutting. But I like the whole process of making a quilt. I made the square-quilts because I don't like to cut up my favorite fabrics in too small pieces. And they are made of flanel, which is not the easiest to cut up in smaller parts. Have fun with the Patriotic quilt, and make sure to post some pictures!
