Here's to the Red, White and Blue!

We're celebrating the 4th of July with red, white and blue fabric! 

The Simply American collection from Kanvas features stars and stripes, but also paisleys, large and small dots, and a fireworks-inspired print.

Feeling the red, white and blue!

If you're feeling inspired by patriotic colors, keep reading! We've collected some of our favorite red, white and blue designs to share with you. It may be too late to stitch one of these quilts before tomorrow (ha ha ha!), but you can find the fabric now and be done sewing well before next July 4th.

Feeling patriotic?

A great red, white and blue collection inspires patriotic pride--you might even start humming "America the Beautiful" or "The Star Spangled Banner" while you read this post! :) 

With parades, fireworks, and all things red, white and blue colored just around the corner for the 4th of July, we're sharing our Oh My Stars collection by Dover Hill Studio. 

These fantastic patriotic prints feature stars and stripes (of course!), as well as ribbons, a firework-inspired print, and great watercolor-style tonals. The American Classic prints are red, blue, and a warm cream, with some fun burlap texture in the background. The Weathered prints work in tan as well, with more burlap texture. Use them together or on their own and you'll create a red, white and blue beauty! 

Red, white and blue prints are always a great match for a star quilt. This star-happy design, "American Dream" by Diane Nagle, is available for free download from our website.

p.s. If these prints look familiar, we showed you a quilt last week from Block magazine featuring them! Click here to see the quilt and find out more about Block magazine.
