Memorial Day, May 30, is a day to remember the more than one million men and women who died in military service to the USA. The flag is a symbol of the freedoms they fought for, which we enjoy today. This twister quilt sparkles with red, white and blue pinwheels which are beautifully framed by a bunting border print.
Long May You Wave by Judy Pedersen
