Create Something Festive with This Timeless Block
| May 18, 2025 | Paper Piecing, Patriotic Quilts, Quilt Blocks
Unorthodox Colors Are Charming Too!
Celebrate summer and patriotic holidays by creating something festive with this striking block. It makes a timeless and bold statement in a Fourth of July table runner, a military tribute quilt, or in a charming Americana design.
The block is made with paper piecing, which ensures accuracy and sharp points. You’ll find excellent FPP instructions here.
Use popular colors and fabric styles to give your blocks a traditional look. You can also experiment with colors and prints, and even use unorthodox colors for beautiful results.
Designer Ingrid Alteneder from Joe June and Mae provides instructions for the following finished block sizes: 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
