Fourth of July - the Quilt

Fourth of July started back in June of 2019 when

I was inspired by Linda's sharing of the "Bertha" quilt.

 

I raided the stash and cut a lot of 9" squares 

to make a Bertha quilt of my own.

(you can see Linda's quilt top here

and her finished quilt here)

In May 2020 I decided to repurpose my still-unused squares 

into hourglass blocks for the then-current AHIQ challenge.

My quilt top was completed in June 2020.

Now, a year later, Fourth of July is finished.

I'm really pleased with the scrappy pieced back.

Quilted with rows of my liberated fans

using Glide thread in Graphite.

48" x 60"
