What I've found so far says that the flag always had stripes. My guess is either that the stripes were left off the fabric because the space is too small, or that I am totally wrong. Maybe it was a regimental flag or something like that.<br /><br />The Puerto Rican flag is the same design with red and blue reversed. But the history online has it being developed later than the date on this quilt.<br /><br />About the quilting: As I recall (already a month in the past and already getting fuzzy....), the quilting is what is sometimes called Baptist Fan - concentric quarter circles. The corners you see are where one fan bumps into the one below.<br /><br />The quilting shows a bit better on this quilt: http://annquiltsblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/scrappy-bow-tie-quilt.html<br /><br />Thanks for writing, and thanks for the great compliment. Once I found that previous patch with a fabric I already owned, I knew this quilt and I were going to be great friends. :-)Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041189836826670736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4749067267697338963.post-45987880687331451922015-01-20T20:58:36.569-06:002015-01-20T20:58:36.569-06:00Thank you for the interesting tour of time and fab...Thank you for the interesting tour of time and fabric. Cuba's current flag has strips in the field outside the triangle, but that may be more recent than 1896. <br /><br />Looking at the photo of the quilt I was trying to figure out the quilting pattern. I was able to enlarge it on feedly but I still couldn't decide. Is it a zig-zag pattern across several blocks? The quilting seems sometimes to change directions sometimes.<br /><br />Your repairs are perfect!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
