American Anthem Table Set by Studio E

FREE PRINTABLE
from Studio E

This pattern was first available back in 2015, an oldie but a goodie!

I love how the designer used a striped fabric around the stars in the table runner. Lots of visual interest with no extra piecing. So smart!

Flag of Valor by Minick & Simpson for Moda

I just love how the designers let the blue and white star fabric do all the work. Saves a whole lot of piecing or applique time.

The Sawtooth stars are turned on-point to add a bit of dazzle to this creation.


Flag Table Runner by Wendy Sheppard

Measure your table first, this is a wide one.

Rippling Flags by Natalie Crabtree for Whistler Studios

from Whistler Studios

Intermediate

This pattern uses Bargello-style strip piecing to get the piecing done. You'll need to label strips as you go to keep them all in order.

Don't you just love how the ombre red-white-blue fabric makes it look like there's so much more piecing in this quilt than there really is?

Americana by Whistler Studios  supplies all the color.


Rising Stars by Denniele Bohannon

Though the sample for this pattern is in rainbow colors, can't you just see it in patriotic reds, whites, and blue?

It's just two basic blocks. A Rail Fence alternating with a Sawtooth Star.

Imagination. Passion. Creativity. It's Timeless.


Salute to the Stars by Janet Houts 

FREE PRINTABLE
from Andover

This design is constructed from two different 12" finished block patterns.

It's the fabric choices that make it sing, 'Patriotic'!

Star Sparklers by Nan Baker 

FREE PRINTABLE
from Timeless Treasures

Alternating blocks that finish at 12" make this patriotic patchwork fairly quick to piece.

What looks like 2 Flying Geese stacked on each other is really 4 half square triangles.

If you'd prefer to paper piece them as pairs of Flying Geese, you'll find instructions/patterns to make 4" finished units in the Arrowhead block tutorial, under Step 1. Choose the 4" finished units. You'll need to revise the cutting chart in this complimentary  download from Timeless Treasures.


Starry Blue by Natalie Crabtree for Whistler Studios

from Whistler Studios

Intermediate

A nice size for a table topper or small wall hanging.

The true clincher for this pattern is that the ombre stripe from Americana by Whistler Studios does most of the work in the center star. 

It takes just 4 (extremely) large diamonds to make each of the 8 diamonds to make it.
