12 Inspirational Quilt Blocks
Featuring Raw-Edge Applique!

If you like applique, I think you'll like these designs from Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts. The pre-cut, pre-fused applique is slightly tacky, which lets you position and reposition your pieces just the way you want them. I know I've had fun making these! ~ Marsha

Stonehenge Stars & Stripes
10th Anniversary Celebration!

Northcott is celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Stonehenge Stars & Stripes with a patriotic fabric collection inspired by the noble work of Quilts of Valor.

What is Quilts of Valor?
The Mission of the Quilt of Valor Foundation is to cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and health Quilts of Valor.

Stonehenge Stars & Stripes
Two Quilt Kits Available!

Patti Carey's Anniversary Quilt-Along Quilt, For the Brave, comes in two stunning options:

Quilt Kit 1 features the Eagle panel in the center.
Quilt Kit 2 has a block center.
I'm not sure how you will choose!

Our For the Brave quilt kit includes the Pattern and Fabrics to Complete the Top and Binding. We also stock coordinating Stonehenge wide backings. Both quilts meet the size requirements for the Quilts of Valor program.

The quilt along runs from March to December 2022.

For the Brave ~ Panel Quilt Kit

Here's a closeup of the Panel Quilt.
For the Brave ~ Block Quilt Kit

Here's are details of the Block Quilt. Both quilts also use a panel with small squares, hearts and stars, cut as blocks (see below). There is no applique on either quilt, although they could be embellished.

Northcott has planned a number of activities around the Stonehenge 10th Anniversary. The Quilt Along and block tutorials are just one part of it. There's a creative contest, giveaways, a newsletter, and prizes. Check it all out by clicking the images below.

What Else Should I Know?

We have received part of our fabric and once everything arrives, we'll cut our kits. If you order a quilt kit, it will be sent in March, prior to the Quilt Along.

We also have a number of other quilt kits in progress that feature this beautiful Stonehenge collection. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements on this!
