Red, White, and Blue Scrappy Flag Quilt Pattern

, by . Leave a Comment

It’s time for some scrappy red, white, and blue quilted goodness.  This patriotic flag pattern from Diary of Quilter is about as scrappy as it gets.

Measuring about 39″ x 51″ when finished, it is super simple to make.  With the exception of a small part of the quilt, it’s all about squares.  The trick with this one is to have enough scraps in the various colors.

Of course, for us quilters, that probably is not a huge problem.  Because it is so easy to put together, you could easily make this quilt in a day or two of concentrated sewing.  I really love the downloadable layout.  It’s very helpful. You definitely want to stay organized with this one since it would easy to mix up some of the placement of the squares.
