Every year for I don't know how long,
I've made my siblings a
Patriotic table runner or topper.
It began as an honor to our dad,
who was one of the most patriotic people I know.
This year I used a pattern my sister found and loved.
The pattern is free from Quilters Newsletter
and is called "Firework Flag".

I loved the idea of this quilt,
but didn't like that the flag was square.
After extending the striped side of the quilt,
I quilted the pieces before trimming
and decided to leave the top and bottom edges wavy.
These took some time to make,
but I really love the finish.
My siblings liked them, too!
Happy Quilting!
Such a wonderful tradition. This year's toppers look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose took forever to make but they are awesome!

ReplyDeleteHappy summer
What a neat design! I like that you kept the wavy edges to make it more unique.
ReplyDeleteWonderful in every way; long may she wave!
