This is the Island Batik Ambassador row quilt I made for the February challenge.
I pieced the top in time for the February blog hop, but didn't get to finish until now.

This quilt showcases the Americana fabric collection. These gorgeous patriotic red white and blue batiks should still be available in local quilt shops at this time.
I quilted Stars and Stripes forever with a loopy meander in red thread.

Hello and welcome to the first day of the Island Batik Ambassador Row by Row blog hop. This is my quilt, Stars and Stripes Forever that I made with the new Americana fabric collection by Kathy Engle. I'm sorry that it is just a top and not a finished quilt. January was exceptionally busy for me and I finished the top and took this quickie photo just before writing my post. Normally I do a lot more photos and I do apologize. I will write another post with more detail when I finish the quilt.

The Island Batik Ambassadors were challenged to make a row quilt for the February blog hop. I designed my rows in EQ8. Looking back, I knew I was super busy and I should have chosen simpler blocks, but I loved making these blocks and the way they look together along with the four rows of red star blocks.
Americana is a new collection of red, white, and blue fabrics designed by Kathy Engle. These fabrics should be arriving in local quilt shops in February. They are truly beautiful together. I used all of the fabrics in my quilt. I also used Aurifil thread, Schmetz needles, and cut as many pieces as possible with my Accuquilt Go.
Ragamuffin is my shy kitty. She rarely gets into a photo. Here she is posing with the stack of Americana fabric, plus the coordinating white and blue that I received to make my quilt. Oh kitty.
This week Island Batik is giving away fat quarter bundles of both the Americana collection and the Chantilly collection on their blog. Click here to visit the Island Batik blog.
