Ever since that time I have been collecting Americana fabric. Over at Micki's blog she was making a Stars and Stripes wall quilt and I just remembered that one of my many UFOs is a quilt that I started using Americana fabric. I think I will call this quilt "I Love America".
This is a single heart block made of a center square. I then added four triangle corners and then applique with a heart on the center block. The finished block size is 5 1/2" and center block is 4 1/2".
The fabric used in the quilt is mainly Americana fabric plus some stripes, checks and a few solids that I have thrown in. The piece of red fabric with the white heart I found separately and it goes well with the rest of the blocks that I will use for the border.
My truly Stars and Stripes quilt has to be the One for All and All for One quilt I made as part of America from the Heart exhibition for 9-11. I have posted this quilt previously, so if you want to read the complete history of this quilt please click on the above link. It's the middle of the week I hope everybody is having a nice week so far.

Great post Nat...I love that look!!! When I learnt those first 6 blocks (remember that quilt) the teacher was from America...♥x
That's going to be a pretty quilt..
you do such fantastic work... and your stitches are so perfect... wish mine were as nice as yours.
In my last house, my guest bedroom was all done in Americana, decorated with several quilts too. They are all tucked away now because it doesn't match the colors of Southern Utah.
I love the americana fabrics with the tea stain backgrounds or the homespuns. Love working with them!! Lovely quilt.
Wow what incredible work !
You know how much I love Americana projects! Lovely Nat!
Glad that I inspired you to finish it. It is going to be so pretty!

I love your americana quilts! I can't wait to see that one finished! I wish I could stay more on task with projects but I jump around so much. Too many ideas.
The quilt is great !!
Love it so much !
I start my hand sewing , but seems that I'm so slow & in-patience in it.
The flag quilt with the photos as part of the flags is a very original design and very interesting. Good job!
