Flag Day, celebrated annually on June 14th, is a lesser-known patriotic holiday. Flag Day is a time when Americans reflect on the foundations of this nation’s freedom. The flag of the United States is an enduring symbol of our country’s ideals since its early days.
In this blog, Katie Chicarello reflects on the meaning of Flag Day and offers a free patriotic download of Firework Flag. Designed by Gigi Khalsa, this project could be completed in a weekend. This mini quilt can be used as a small wall hanging or table topper, or can easily be made into a pillow (it finishes at 18″ square). Use some colored canvas or Essex linen in place of cotton fabric and create a great outdoor decoration as well. Included are instructions for making this design into a pillow. You’ve still got time to make this fun project before 4th of July this year!

Looking for some more quick projects to make in time for the 4th of July 2020? Don’t fret! We’ve got a couple for great ideas for you. Lori, editor of McCall’s Quilting, was looking for a quick project and came up with an excellent solution. She had a gorgeous Fireworks Americana panel from Hoffman, a night scene with a city skyline and fireworks exploding in a beautiful show of lights. She simply quilted it with a lovely all-over motif and bound it. Read more about Lori’s quilt here: https://www.quiltingdaily.com/quick-patriotic-quilt/. Surprise! You’ll find a free download of our Rippling Waves quilting motif in available in Lori’s blog.
Here at Quilting Daily, we’ve been working to get our quilting motifs digitized for use on longarm quilting machines. Lori has been able to test a few of the designs and she wanted to use one of them on her Fireworks panel. She decided to use the Rippling Waves motif. You can read more about our new quilting motifs in this blog on our website.
