PATRIOTIC, SINCE I REALLY LIKE
DOING PATRIOTIC QUILTS.
>> FABULOUS.
>> I HAD REALLY FUN DOING IT.
>> HOW DID YOU DECIDE WHERE TO
PUT THE FABRICS?

IT REALLY JUST DEPENDED BECAUSE
WE DIDN'T WANT TOO MANY COLORS,
THE SAME COLOR CLOSE TOGETHER.
>> RIGHT.
YOU WANTED DIFFERENT TONES AND
COLORS ON THE BACKGROUND BLOCKS.

COMPOSITION WITH ALL OF YOUR
