Bound for Glory: Five Patriotic Quilts [Paperback] Review

Bound for Glory: Five Patriotic Quilts [Paperback]As an American, I love red, white and blue quilts that show a patriotic theme.BOUND FOR GLORY provides five such patterns:Paper Pinwheels, Carrie Nation, Sergeant's Chevron, Union and Liberty Star.

The Pinwheel has been a favorite pattern of mine and this one is done in mostly red.I would "flip" the red and the blue positions but the pattern is gorgeous.Simple squares and triangles and you have it!

Carrie Nation is all squares while Sergeant's Chevron is simple triangles and strips even though it looks more complicated.It has a star appliqué to complete the chevron.Union is triangles and squares and strips and the Liberty start has a square in a square along with squares and strips.None of the five are extremely complicated but all have the look of being that way.

There are three pages of quiltmaking techniques that include diagrams which make following the instructions very easy.Each quilt is shown on a full page in the colors the author chose.Remember, you can always flip the colors to suite your own room or tastes just like I will do in the Pinwheel.Which one will you make first?
