I am going on a retreat in 2 weeks & need a 12" appliqued block pattern representing the month of July. Have searched all web sites that I know of & can't find anything appropriate except flowers. Would like to have a flag or firecrackers or something else patriotic. Can anyone offer any suggestions or know of a pattern or website where I can find something? You're help would be greatly appreciated.

Look for patterns for those like monthly hanger stands that people do mini quilts for. You might even find some under seasonal BOM appliqué patterns.

sometimes you find one of SunBonnet Sue with monthly things.

On one of EB's show, she was making blocks that were popular from WWII. As I was looking thru a book I have called O' Glory, I saw a pattern that I remember she had made. Can't remember the exact name but it had the word "ROCKET" in it. PM if you would like some additional info. Depending on your skills, you can do simple blocks just using patriotic fabric. I just Google Fourth of July quilt blocks. GOOD LUCK !!

Look up the quilt pattern for "Home of the Free & the Brave". I think that's the name of the pattern. You might get an idea for something patriotic.

Or what about Sunbonnet Sue or Sam. Modify it to show one of them carrying a flag----------wouldn't have to have stripes showing or anything. Just something to look like a flag.

The one with the flag wrapped around the capitol building would be awesome.

With my best friend Google LOL I found this:

And I saw this one, but that pattern is in a magazine.

I found this, which might give you an idea. It's an embroidery site but you should be able to make your own pattern, by looking at the picture.
