"There's a classic movie that we watched as kids that has a scene I will never forget. Children are running and playing, weaving through potluck tables set up in a cul-de-sac while the dads grill burgers and the moms fuss with the table settings and chat with each other. Overhead, fireworks are going off in the sky and the teen boys are throwing a baseball. That nostalgia for fireworks and summer nights inspired Star Spangled. With lots of love for my country and flag, and the perfect retro prints and florals to evoke some treasured memories, this collection is sure to find its way into every corner of my home during the summer months. I hope it inspires many quilts and projects for you too!" ~April Rosenthal
