Border Crossing

One of our typical family vacations when I was growing up was a quick trip to Canada. (We lived about 100 miles from the border.)  Although there was a border crossing (an exciting part of the journey) there was no need for passports and we enjoyed being able to visit a "foreign" country.  

To celebrate Flag Day (June 14th in the United States), I created a quilt with two flags.  One for the US and one for Canada.  I also decided to make the flags "wave".

Would you like to learn how to draft a "wavy" flag block?  Check out the following video tutorial.  You will learn some great tips for getting those stripes to nest.

Here is the block from the video.  This would be a fun project to cut out on an electronic cutting system.

I am curious what flag you would like to make "wave".  Please post any or your drafted flag blocks or your quilt with flags in the Learning EQ Facebook group. 

​Happy quilting.
