My husband is very active in veterans' organizations so I wanted to make a patriotic quilt to display on the 4th of July and other service-related holidays. The ideas started rolling for Veteran's Pride when I won a packet of red, white and blue fat quarters at my quilt guild meeting. I wanted to create an asymmetrical design that would express loyalty to our country and capture the essence of the flag.
