You might be surprised to see what love of country caused Navy Captain William Driver to hide in a quilt.  Put yourself in his place.  Your family has a precious heirloom, Old Glory, the flag that inspired our nation and Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner.  The Confederates are coming, they want to destroy that flag and they know you have it!  

What would you do?   (I wonder just how big that quilt was...)

We found this Patriotic Heart Block.  A sweet size to tuck in the corner of your next quilt, or on the back, to show your work is "Made in America" and you are proud of it.
