I’m always a sucker for red, white, and blue. It’s a color combination that never goes out of style. Here I’ve put together a list of lots of fun ideas for patriotic sewing and quilting projects, perfect for the 4th of July. A variety of styles, sizes, and experience levels. Some patterns are free project tutorials, others are quilt patterns for purchase (and may include affiliate links), but there’s definitely something for everyone!
