The lady that commissioned it is a police officer that wants a quilt for her inlaws! I am really excited because normally I just make the quilts and give them away or auction them off. This time she is picking the pattern and fabric and all the good stuff. I am really excited and scared at the same time. My question for you is the inlaws are Norweigan and she wants me to include the flag into the quilt and a patriotic theme. She likes the attic window block, which is good. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a Norweigen block or have any idea how I could incorporate something other than the flag into the quilt. So if you have any ideas or can point me in the right direction I would be so very grateful!!!

Check out Quilters Cache. It doesn't have "Norway Pine" listed, but it may be listed another way. I didn't go through the entire alphabet. There is a Norway Pine block, and here is a tute on how to do it. Good luck and be sure and post the finished quilt. Oh, and Congratulations!!

Here is a webpage with a bunch of Norse symbols. Perhaps you could incorporate them into the quilting motif and make a few blocks.

Norwegian Knot quilt pattern is pretty awesome. Don't know of a free pattern but here is one that can be bought for $4.95. You may even be able to look at the pic and make up your own pattern.
