Independence Day is almost here and we’re Celebrating America with this Americana Quilt, a beginner quilting project! With the right fabric selection, this simple quilt is a fun play on the American flag.
Americana Quilt
If you can cut and sew straight lines, you can make a quilt with massive patriotic impact. This quilt square is constructed from contrasting and complimentary fabrics in red, white and blue. Combine as many squares as you want for a quilt of any size.
As shown, the quilt is a great size for a statement wall hanging or a lap throw quilt. But, don’t be constrained by what you see here — get ambitious and take this pattern edge to edge on your bed (or as a gift to someone who loves America as much as you!).
