What's included with Star Spangled Banner Quilt?
Quilting Traditions
Traditional quilting motifs such as the Churn Dash, Bowtie, Bear’s Paw, Pinwheel, and Ohio Star can be seen as embroidered renditions throughout this flag’s red stripes as an homage to our nation’s multi-faceted history.
Folded Fabric Technique
White bands of folded fabric between the red stripes, created using our 3-step folded fabric technique allow to explore textures and prints with a variety of white, cream, or off-white fabrics.
Easy-to-Follow Instructions
Each block has been specially digitized to include the design file name in its seam allowance, located near the upper left corner, giving you a handy way to reference the design position in the final flag using the numbers indicated on the Quilt Diagram and ensure you have placed all your blocks correctly!
For this stunning Special Edition collection, we also wanted to honor the traditional practice of quilting that was ever-so-popular in our nation’s early years. Many unique symbols and shapes were often combined using scraps of fabrics by early quilters, illustrating stories, heeding warnings, and even to celebrate important moments in their lives. This conglomerate of meaningful hues, patterns, and shapes were then woven together into eye-catching and intricate quilts. Now, we’ve combined these key elements of American history into a stunning flag that you can stitch and hang with pride.
