Patriotic Quilt Patterns
Red, white and blue symbolize the colors of the American flag, as well as the perfect colors for a patriotic quilt pattern. Rich in history, patriotic quilts are a way to bring the American spirit into a quilt top and are great quilts to give as well as to keep. Each of the quilt patterns below, including free patriotic quilt patterns, is perfect for decorating your home for Fourth of July, Labor Day or Memorial Day as well as just to commemorate the sacrifices of the troops. If someone in your life is a veteran, a patriotic quilt can be a touching tribute to their contributions and a way to thank them everyday.
We love this classic article written by former McCalls Quilting editor, Lori Baker, not only because it features her beautiful Fireworks Americana panel just in time for July 4th, but also because it imparts a profound piece of wisdom. Applicable to quilting and beyond, it goes like this, If you feel like a challenge, do something new, learn something. And if you are feeling a little fragile, do something simple so your success is assured.
We hope you enjoy this beautiful quick patriotic quilt and Lori's deep dive into our digital motifs.
