Vintage Patriotic Quilts

While at the "America Quilts" Expo this past weekend, Alex came across these vintage patriotic quilts. They are made from everything from feed sacks to silks and were used to remember veterans, raise money and commemorate events.

These quilts are from the collection of Sue Reich. Sue generously shares theses quilts at shows around the country and is also the author of two books on WWI and WWII quilts.

Thanks so much for sharing! My Dad was in the Navy and saved his ship the USS Denver from sinking!
I love especially patriotic quilts.
Bless your hearts!

Thank you for showing these quilts. They honor the veterans who have fought and kept our country free.
Thank all the veterans and their families for their service to our country.

These are incredible quilts! I've have to look around for some of the patterns mentioned in the descriptions. My Dad was in the Navy during WWII and I've been thinking of doing a quilt in his memory.
Thank you for sharing these with everyone!
