Even though this is the Tennessee block, I feel it represents the USA. I love almost everything Red/White/Blue. This really caught my eye. Every man in my family has served in the military and I’m so proud of them. My home is decorated with R/W/B furniture and flags everywhere. Love for God and my country is my foundation. I have 3 large bins of patriotic fabrics and I’m looking forward to pulling them out and starting this pattern. Thank you for printing this.
This is great. I think I am a member of AQS already!
I love these blocks! Thanks for Sharing these with us! Love all of them!
