Patriotic Quilting Inspiration Starts Here

In today’s video, we’re standing at our patriotic table, surrounded by Americana fabrics and project ideas perfect for summer sewing, holiday decorating, and Quilts of Valor projects.

One of the highlights is our red, white, and blue fat quarter bundles. These bundles are designed to work together—and if you purchase all three, there are no duplicates. That means more variety, more flexibility, and more creative possibilities for your quilts.

Whether you’re building your stash or finishing a meaningful quilt, these bundles make it easy to get started.

A Stunning Patriotic Quilt Kit

We also featured the Patriotic Milky Way Fabric Kit—a striking quilt that finishes at 52" x 66". This kit includes the fabric for the quilt top and binding, giving you a confident starting point for your project.

The pattern is found in the Stripology Mixology 2 book by GE Designs, which is a favorite for its efficient cutting techniques and bold designs:

You’ll also need 3 yards of 44/45"-wide fabric or 1 2/3 yards of 108"-wide fabric for backing.

Tools & Notions That Make Quilting Easier

We always love sharing tools that make your quilting smoother and more enjoyable. In this video, we highlighted Quilty Clips from Riley Blake Designs—perfect for holding layers together while binding or piecing.
