Stars and stripes (and flowers!) forever. Time to stitch up a bouquet of patriotic blooms for your next 4th of July picnic. Just grab a fat eighth bundle and toss your wildflowers against an alternating background of grey or white for a secondary checkerboard design with the “Red White & Bloom” quilt.

Pattern Tidbits

You probably already know I can’t resist a good flower quilt. And I just couldn’t imagine a 4th of July collection without a few flowers thrown into the mix. The “Red White & Bloom” flower quilt block is considered intermediate skill level. It uses a combination of beginner techniques (easy corner triangles on the leaves) with several pieces to keep track of.

The Fabric

This “Red White & Bloom” quilt features my upcoming Old Glory fabric collection for Moda Fabrics arriving to shops Feb 2024. It is fat eighth friendly – and each fat eighth will yield (1) flower + (1) stem. From there, you can mix and match the flower/stem combinations to suit your fancy. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

Materials List

• 1 fat eighth bundle of Old Glory (25 fat eighths 9″ x 22″)
• 2-3/8 yards white background fabric (SKU #5204 21)
• 2-3/8 yards grey background fabric (SKU #5206 12)
• 5/8 yard border fabric (SKU #5202 15)
• 3/4 yard binding fabric (SKU #5206 15)
• 4-1/2 yards backing fabric (SKU #5201 12)
