Patriotic Quilt Pattern
Here's a square quilt that measures about 66" square, a perfect size to take along on picnics or July 4th celebrations. And if you use flannel for the batting you can get by with minimal quilting stitches, since good old flannel stays intact in the wash. The fabrics illustrated work with a U.S. patriotic theme, but the pattern itself is generic -- try juvenile prints, florals, batiks, reproductions -- anything goes.
