Who doesn’t need a July 4th picnic quilt?  Perfect throw size for watching the fireworks, for letting a little one rest or to sit on in the bleachers. It’s only 53 inches long and 42 inches wide.

I enjoyed making this July 4th picnic quilt and the curves in the flag stripes were tons of fun.  I used It’s Sew Kind of Wonderful‘s Quick Curve Ruler to make the 9 blocks.  It is a GREAT ruler.  And, I mean it.  The last 3-4 quilts I’ve made used their ruler.  Their company service is awesome and I am a huge fan!

When I showed my friends, Carole Sue and Desiree, they commented that the backs of my quilts are never (rarely) plain.    Why? Because  I like surprises!  So, I almost always piece the back and make it pretty, too!

For this quilt I used an Edge-to-Edge star pattern on my July 4th picnic quilt.

So, are you feeling patriotic?  Are you inspired to make a July 4th picnic quilt?
