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!

I like seeing winter quilts – Christmas is too short a time.

Thank you for sharing so many great ideas for patriotic sewing projects! Gets my creative juices flowing. Can’t wait to try some of these.

Thanks for the roundup, Amy! I’ve made some of these projects (I’m looking at you, patriotic pineapples!), and this weekend I plan to make a lone star quilt top using a jelly roll and the tutorial on the Moda Bake Shop. It’ll be the fourth year in a row that I’ve made a patriotic quilt top over Memorial Day weekend, so now it’s tradition!

What a great tradition!
