No this is not a quilt square.
However, quilt block ideas were used.
The heart was used from an block I saw made on You-Tube.
It was called Patriotic Heart that I used to make another yard flag.
I didn't want to wait until Tuesday Tutorial to share
which would have been after Memorial Day.
The last flag I had made was for Veterans Day, Nov. 2021.
Then G and I got the Delta strain of COVID,
I never felt like or had the energy to do anything last year.
Finally, that flag got so faded,
I was ashamed to leave it in the yard.
Recently, I pulled out my red, white, blue scrap bags
and got a new one made.
I used to make for my elementary class bulletin board.
Made 2 sets of the alphabet and off set the back one for background effect.
I had to go back myself to a past post.
Dimensions and directions for making the flag can be found at:
The -30F freeze we had at Christmas killed several of the branches.
Once I trimmed the dead pieces,
there are more pots, pieces and plants that he got for me.
Some things did survive.
I don't know why I didn't think to move the things inside or in the garage?
He did so much,
there is still a lot around to remind me of him.
Lots of memories that I love.
USA Memorial Day is very special to me
as I remember him and my Dad
for serving our country.
