This was the second quilt we worked on in our class. It's called "America the Beautiful," and was inspired by the song of the same name. It was originally published as a series quilt in Quiltmaker magazine back in 2002 and 2003. The designer of the paper-pieced eagles is Theresa Eisinger, and the designer of the whole quilt is Caroline Reardon. We learned a variety of techniques doing this one - string piecing for the mountain skies and plains, Flying Geese, stitch-and-flip, paper piecing, and a jillion half-square triangles. (Actually, 144.)

I just love this quilt! It is just a wonderful representation of the lovely song by the same name : ) My husband is retired Navy and is having some serious medical problems and I want to make this for him. Where is the quilt pattern available? More than one site it is available? Thanks so much

Carol, you have a "no reply" profile, so I couldn't contact you. I hope you come back to this blog for this answer. The pattern is from Quiltmaker magazine. I found it for sale at this online shop: http://www.quiltandsewshop.com/product/America-The-Beautiful/quiltmaker-patterns
