Patriotic

This year the United States turns 250, and quilters are marking it the way quilters always have: with red, white and blue cotton. This collection brings together patriotic fabric and the kits built around it, most of it from the Northcott America 250 release.

Patriotic quilt kits with backing and binding

Each precut kit ships with the fabric for the top plus backing and binding, so you can start sewing the day it arrives. Because of the Brave (60 x 72 inches) and Heartland Home (60 x 72, or 84 x 96 with two kits) suit a confident beginner. Honor and Valor (58 x 73 inches) is written for beginners and teaches half square triangles and flying geese.

America 250 panel and precut bundles

The Northcott America 250 panel measures 24 x 43 inches and makes a quick wall hanging, the center of a quilt or the front of a tote. The America 250 tote bag kit includes the panel and the instructions. An 8-piece precut bundle from the same collection gives you coordinated red, white and blue prints for your own design.

A red, white and blue project for your thread stash

The Patriotic Thread Challenge Kit turns thread and fabric into a display piece, a fun project for a guild challenge or a Fourth of July weekend. For more fabric by the yard and precuts, browse quilting fabric.
