Stars and Stripes Door Hanger

7/4/2020

 
The quilt I will be sharing with you today, is one that would be super easy to piece, and a cute way to decorate for Independence Day.  If you aren't into red/white/blue quilts, try a different color combination. 

The miniature size (23-1/4" x 6-1/8"), also makes it a fun quilt to hang on a door.

​The star blocks are 4 inch finished.  There is something about small blocks that just adds to the cuteness factor.

There are two rail fence blocks -- one done in EasyDraw and one in PolyDraw.

The fabric used in designing this quilt is from the Bandana Ballad collection by Michael Miller.  The collection is included in Electric Quilts 2020 Stash Download 1 Collection    Although it is fun to download fabrics directly from manufacturing websites, it is much more efficient getting them directly from EQ as the fabric is always sized correctly and usually cropped to eliminate tiling problems.  
In the video, I also share with you my trick for adding a binding around this quilt.  The binding is added for a visual perspective of my final quilt.  I always calculate yardage for my binding separately, using my preferred binding method.

Here is my pieced version of this quilt.  It was done many years ago and was gifted to my mother to use as a door hanger in her assisted living facility.
