I told you my memory was bad
One of the instruction sheets on my MaryQuilts.com site was recreated from memory because I’d lost the photos I had of this quilt which I made in 2001. I was very surprised to come across my photo on a group site where I’d posted it back then and to see I hadn’t remember the quilt as well as I thought I had.
The original quilt
My design 6+ years later – I’m shocked that those stars are friendship stars rather than sawtooth stars and I didn’t remember putting the star border on the bottom either (but I can understand not remembering which order I placed the colors in the rails). I was also surprised to read that I was sharing the instructions for quilts I’d created myself that long ago.
The instructions for the Patriotic Rail Fence quilt are on my MaryQuilts.com site.
I like the rail fences in the first one and the stars in the second!
oh oh, the memory is going Mary!!!
This is really cute! I am going to download the instructions so I can start on this one for the New Year.
Love quilters who share!!
Thanks Mary!

I like both versions, too. What great ideas for QOV quilts! Thanks for sharing, Mary. I love your patterns.
I remember that one! In fact, I think I like it better.
Thanks for sharing. I love patriotic quilts. Just like you, I like to create some of my blocks in EQ6. I like being able to arrange and rearrange to my heart’s content, and there is the added bonus of having the pieces laid out for me so that all the math is done.
Hi Mary, I like the friendship stars but the red ,white and blue placement of the second one. Maybe on day I will make it like that for my son and his wife who are both in the navy!Love all your work. Bonnie in Tx.Have a holy Christmas.
What a nice quilt. I think I’d like to try the updated version. Love those big white stars send off rays!
