After the Stars & Stripes quilt pattern was released by Thimble Blossoms, they started popping up all over Instagram and Facebook. I finally decided that it was too cute and I needed one too. Fat Quarter Shop had a red, white, and blue fat quarter bundle called Midsummer Picnic that was perfect for this quilt. It’s sold out now, but it had the perfect number of red and blue fat quarters in it for this quilt. I got all the strips cut out yesterday and started sewing this morning. By lunchtime, I had all these beautiful flag blocks ready to go!
Now, I just need to get sashing and backing fabric to finish it up. I really love simple projects like this that come together quickly. I gives me a nice sense of accomplishment. 🙂
Wow, that fat quarter bundle really was perfect. The tones all work so well together. I love when a pattern comes together so quickly, too!
This will be gorgeous. I can’t wait to see the finished quilt. I have one planned in my head very similar to this one.
Thanks, Karen! I’ll keep an eye on your blog to see your project! 🙂
Looks great! I love flag quilts, and all things red white & blue!
