Another quilt done and bound. This is my first patriotic quilt. We don’t usually decorate our house with patriotic things, but some of us do. An even if they do, it is normally just outside their home. I’ll share some of those when August comes.
As Malaysian, we celebrate our Independence Day in the month of August. 31st of August will be the date we were free, in Malay we called this Merdeka. This year of 2022 will be our 65th Year of Independence.
Hence, I’d like to call this my Merdeka Quilt.
If you’re wondering why the colors are the same as the American flag (Americana colours) except for the yellows, you can read more about the colour choices at the beginning of making this quilt HERE>.
America’s flag and the Malaysia flag is very much the same isn’t? Which is lucky for me because next time, I can also make the same stripes from lots of patterns available.
There are plenty of Americana Quilts Patterns out there that I can use too which makes it a lot more fun.
Patriotic Quilt
As with all the sampler quilts, this one was definitely an enjoyable one to make.
I get bored when piecing or cutting 100’s of the same size units, hence sampler quilt is my go-to quilts.
You can seee some of previous Sampler Quilts in my previous post below:
This time, I took the time to get some more Drone Photos just like when I did with Sewcialites Quilt! It is always exciting to get to do this and I ought to do it more often. Looking at quilts from far above is quite a view.
