"The flag is not just one of many political points of view. Rather, the flag is a symbol of our national unity" ~Adrian Cronauer
I love to start decorating with my red, white and blue decorations and quilts at Memorial Day, but this year we had graduation, so I decided Flag Day would be my jump point this year.
My goal for awhile is to make pillows for our front porch and felt a simple flag block like the New Old Glory Pillows I made previously would work great.
The pillows are made of entirely scraps and stash.
Some denim from my stash for the backside with a simple invisible zipper.
Quilt Pillow Stats:
Measures: 16x24"
Pattern: Adapted from several. An easy one by Diary of a Quilter here
Fabric: Various cotton scraps and heavy denim
Quilted: Diagonal crosshatch on domestic Babylock Symphony
I definitely think they pack a punch from a distance.
Love these quilted pillow covers for Flag Day! Granny used to make similar ones, showcasing her patriotic spirit. They're a beautiful way to honor our flag, echoing Cronauer's sentiment about national unity.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely idea! I can imagine those flag pillows will look fantastic on your porch. I'm always looking for ways to express my creativity too. Funny enough, I often get my design ideas from playing Geometry Dash! The level editors are surprisingly inspiring and you can even create your own geometric patterns. Might be a fun way to explore flag designs!
