{"product_id":"american-gatherings-iii-by-lisa-bongean-from-primitive-gatherings","title":"American Gatherings III Quilt Book by Lisa Bongean for Primitive Gatherings","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bald eagle with wings fully spread, rendered in bold red, white, and navy on a 36\" × 44\" printed fabric panel -- that's the centerpiece of American Gatherings III, and the book includes patterns for building full quilts around it. Lisa Bongean for Primitive Gatherings timed this third collection to mark America's 250th anniversary, and the designs reflect that sense of occasion: more dramatic, more of a statement than the earlier volumes. Folk art florals, an American flag, and a sharp pinwheel-pieced border frame the cover quilt; the back cover previews a second quilt in a bold red, white, and navy arrow pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Inside the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed, spiral-bound book. Quilt fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 77-page book contains ten quilt patterns and four coordinating projects, designed around the American Gatherings III fabric line from Primitive Gatherings for Moda. Several patterns are designed to work with the eagle panel (sold separately as fabric), though the collection also includes patterns that stand alone without it. The instructions work with any coordinating red, white, and blue fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuilters looking for a statement project to mark America's 250th anniversary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose who want a more dramatic, occasion-worthy quilt from the patriotic category\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors completing the American Gatherings series alongside volumes one and two\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuilters drawn to panel-focused construction -- dramatic results with the panel doing much of the visual work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA meaningful gift for a patriotic quilter who wants something built for a milestone year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eagle panel at the heart of this collection is a 36\" × 44\" printed fabric -- the kind of piece that takes center stage in a quilt without requiring appliqué skill to get there. The pattern shows you how to build around it: pieced borders, coordinating blocks, a finished quilt that looks more complex than any individual step. That's an approach Lisa Bongean uses well, and it's on full display here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen quilt patterns and four coordinating projects give the collection enough scope to be a genuine working source. The projects range from the large and statement-making -- the eagle quilt, the arrow design visible on the back cover -- to smaller pieces that complete a seasonal display without requiring another full-size project. For quilters who want to mark 2026 with something handmade, the timing is right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the third book in the American Gatherings series, this one fits naturally with the earlier volumes -- same palette, same spirit, updated for a milestone anniversary. It works just as well as a standalone collection for someone new to the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primitive Gatherings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e PRI-1030\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lisa Bongean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quilting Book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 quilt patterns, 4 coordinating projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 77\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spiral-bound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Gatherings III for Moda Fabrics; includes patterns for 36\" × 44\" eagle panel (panel sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Primitive Gatherings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48306695766264,"sku":"PRI-1030","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0196\/8376\/files\/PRI-1030.jpg?v=1779564405","url":"https:\/\/smartisans.com\/products\/american-gatherings-iii-by-lisa-bongean-from-primitive-gatherings","provider":"Smartisans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
