Whirlwind Wednesday (in the best way possible!)

Here's a little eagle project for America 250. Some of the fabric is antique and I thought it would be fun to not do traditional red-white-blue.

After publishing I realized my eagle does not have the reverse applique red eye! I'll try a French knot.

And I couldn't decide on a patriotic backing, but LOVED this!

I saw the eagle collection of Pat and Arlan Christ in April. and bought the eagle pattern while there! This is the oldest eagle quilt circa 1830!

Okay, that's about it for quilts, but inspiration galore was in Washington DC!

Lincoln Memorial

 

So much patriotic  inspiration!

This is on the back of my eagle quilt.

I love Lady Liberty! I fussy cut these lovely ladies and have 2 blue left and 6 red. I'm selling them for $6.25 (postage included) to my blog readers  Send me an email at humblequilts@gmail.com if you are interested! 

Pushing the red button for?.....hahaha
