RED WHITE AND BLUE BLOCKS ON A FLAG FULL

(It’s pretty unpolished in this format and does not include full quilt instructions.) I am planning to automatically send the updated version, when it’s published later this summer, to those who have the unpolished version. If you’re dying to make a Union Jack block now, you can find the old version of the pattern here. I may be using it on a future England inspired fabric collection as well…

I’m making these blocks in a more muted red, white, and blue color palette and LOVE where it’s going!! This pattern will be available in PDF and printed format (also available for quilt shops) later this summer.

RED WHITE AND BLUE BLOCKS ON A FLAG UPDATE

And I realized it’s time to finally update that pattern and include measurements and fabric requirements for a whole quilt. Amanda of Jedi Craft Girl recently used it to make an amazing quilt for her daughter. I published the block years ago as part of a tote bag pattern. It’s still one of my all time favorite quilts! While making that version, I drafted my own Union Jack quilt block pattern that was more efficient and wasted a lot less fabric. In addition to US flags, I’ve also been playing with Union Jack quilt blocks.Ībout 8 years ago I made my first Union Jack quilt. These blocks are for a new design that’s been kicking around in my head for a while now and I’m finally getting it ready to share! Go HERE to see the finished flag block tutorial and quilt. I think I made my first patchwork flag quilt about 15 years ago. Lots of flags! I’ve been a sucker for flag quilts for years. (These colors are red, white, blue, and navy.)Īnd here’s a sneak peak of what I’ve been making. Again, I love the tone-on-tone quality that gives a little more dimension when using a solid, including the white on white. This sketchy design is Riley Blake’s latest basic called Texture by Sandy Gervais and comes in a rainbow of colors. The wide range of Kisses colors are available here and here. The Riley Blake Kisses are and often tone-on-tone blender and give some geometric texture and contrast with other prints. With scattered blossoms casually tossed it’s a versatile print that reads solid with a hint of something a little more interesting. (Available in a rainbow of colors and whites here, here, and here.) This one is such a good blender or low-volume print. Here are a few of the collections by colors: Christopher Thompson’s Blossoms. We’ve got all the bases covered with swiss dots, stripes, plaids and woven ginghams. 🙂Īlso thrown into this mix, a delicious stack of Riley Blake Basics in shades of red, white, and blue. I love the way they all play nicely together. I brought in all of the red, white, and blue bolts from all of my past collections to cut into and use. The mess piles strategically cropped out of the picture paint a much more chaotic scene.) Here’s a little bit of a peek/preview of what’s going on. My US patriotism and anglophile enthusiasm are working harmoniously together. It caught my eye a week ago and seems the perfect finishing touch to this red, white, and blue mantel display.Time for another edition of “What’s on my Sewing Table”! This week my sewing space looks like there was an explosion in a flag factory with red, white, and blue fabric everywhere! Partially inspired by Amy Chappell’s fun flag mini quilts earlier this week, I’m working on two sets of flags at the moment – US Flag quilt blocks AND Union Jack flag quilt blocks.

Lastly, I picked up the patriotic bunting at Michael’s. The vintage wooden blocksare so easy to make, and they look perfectly at home in this display, too. So, the little Patriotic Oui jar votive I decorated a couple of years ago seems a pretty good balance for the red glitter star. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any this year. My plan was to buy another one to add to the display. The display looks really pretty but a few smaller pieces give it an added pizazz! The red glitter candle is one I picked up at Hobby Lobby last year. Tuck a couple of the red flowers around the bowl. The gold metallic candles seem a better option.

Initially, the plan was to use white candles on the clear blue glass candle holders. Then, add some crinkled paper strips to cover the floral foam.
