USA fabrics and designers are internationally renowned for their quality products and high standards in the textile trade. Robert Kaufman is one of our most popular American providers, and we ensure to carry a wide selection of Robert Kaufman fabric in our shop. Among their recent collections is Patriots, which includes designs based on famous USA icons and symbols, like the stars and stripes. Here you will find a free sewing pattern that combines 2 panel fabrics of said collection to make a strikingly attractive quilt measuring 114cm x 160cm.
The panel fabric taking center stage features a spectacular rendition of the American flag in broad-brush style with paint-like splatters. The second panel fabric is composed of 8 squares with close-up portraits of the Statue of Liberty in many different colors, which are used to create both multicolored bands above and below the flag. Finally, top and bottom strips of another Patriots’ fabric featuring white stars in the same painted style as the flag panel give closure to the design. A magnificent solid blue from the Kona Cotton series serves as background for it all. The quilt is framed by a narrow binding in dark red, and for the backing a light blue tiny grid pattern is used.
This great sewing project is easy enough as to be recommended for quilting beginners, so do not hesitate to try your hand with this simple but rewarding pattern. Just check out the pictures below for inspiration! If you wish to add a little extra to this quilt, we’ve recommended a fabric bundle too!
