This Celebrate Freedom 1776 - 2026 Quilt is crafted from 100% cotton quilting fabric, paired with Quilter's Dream wool batting, honoring 250 years of our democracy and freedom. The quilt's front features a charming design of stars alongside our flag, while the back continues the flag motif. With dimensions of 64" x 72", this quilt makes a perfect throw for your couch, adding a touch of history and warmth to your home.
It’s recommended to wash the quilt on a cold or warm machine cycle and to tumble dry on a low setting, although air drying is preferred.
The fabric was generously donated by Ann and Ned Albee, long-time residents of Oriental. The exquisite piecing and quilting were crafted by the award-winning quilt artist Christine Gillespie. This beautiful quilt is valued at $500.
