Marie’s Quilt Flag
After three months of quilting, my wife Marie just finished this quilt of the American flag. We’re going to use it as a wall hanging inside, a flag for special days outside. Marie took two flags, put batting in between, and then quilted a pattern down the 13 stripes and then quilted around the 50 stars. She had to align the two sides perfectly, so she spent a lot of time pinning the two sides together before she could quilt even a small section.
My camera angle makes the flag look much larger than it is. It’s a normal-sized flag, 32” by 56”, a typical size for hanging outside one’s house. Marie is actually eight inches taller than the flag.
Same flag with side lighting to emphasize the quilting.

Really beautiful.
Marie wanted me to thank all of you who responded. She’s been especially nice to me all evening, which is probably the result of the good mood your compliments put her in. So I also thank you.
Gorgeous! She is one talented lady!!
For just a nominal fee I’m sure many of us would continue to praise her for more mundane activities so that her recent good mood continues. Just think of it as an investment in your happiness.
Late to the party, but that is beautiful.
