Patriotic 12 inch block
 

I am looking for a quick and easy Patriotic 12 inch block for our guild's swap. I have been mia from my guild for several months and was told this morning blocks are due next meeting. This will be my first meeting to attend since August-went back to work.lol
Thanks for your help

Try www.quilterscache.com for block ideas. She has lots! :)

If you go to the Quilts of Valor foundation web site they have several free patterns. www.QOVF.org

Most any block can be patriotic if its R/W/B. Just my opinion.

I agree. With this short notice, I would choose any 12" block you are comfortable making and usew red, white & blue fabric.

This is one Moda used a couple years ago for some honor quilts. It uses the "snowball" technique of a small square on a corner, sewn on the diagonal, folded back to corner of base square.

Cut your 8 white "background" squares at 4.5" square.
Cut your 1 blue "star center" squares at 4.5" square.
Cut your 8 red "point" squares at 2&5/8" square.

Jan - I love that block! Going to save it for quilting in any color. :thumbup:

I am working on a red, white and blue patriotic quilt right now. I too picked a block pattern I like, then (for the first time) I have incorporated a very cool eagle panel into the quilt. So far, so good! Stay tuned...
