Salute the Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is just around the corner! I'm decorating with my newest runner pattern, Salute, available at Etsy.

Made with my favorite colors - red, white, and blue - this one sews up quickly and easily. Simple paper piecing keeps those stripes in line, making for perfect blocks. Add a few applique stars, and ta-dah! The Salute runner for the Fourth of July is born!

Measuring approximately 15" x 51", this one adorns the counter by my dining room table, surrounded by other patriotic decorations, including the flag outside.

This way, it doesn't compete with the Patriotic Wave.

How about some closeups on Salute? The blue background has an echoed triangle fill.

And because the stripes are so bold, there's no need to go overboard with the quilting there. Stitch-in-the-ditch and a line down the middle complete the runner.

The stars are the same way - simple lines from point to center.

The Salute pattern is now available on Etsy. All templates are included: two for the stars, and full size paper piecing patterns for the blocks. Plus, I include an introduction to paper piecing and fusible applique, and tips on seam matching, techniques a confident beginner will be able to manage.

Have a wonderful Fourth of July!

  2. Hi Susan,
    Beautiful runner for the 4th and really anytime between Memorial Day and Labor Day. I am so excited to see the closeups of your quilting. That echoed triangle looks complicated, but I will enjoy seeing your post and video on Monday! Happy Friday! ~smile~ Roseanne
