Patriotic Bunting
I have seen so many flag bunting in blog land that I just could stand it any longer!
With July 4th almost here I thought I needed to get in gear.
Plus my kids enjoy it when I decorate the house.
Also did I mention my sister is visiting today.
Oh my goodness! I've go to get cleaning!
OK back to the bunting. I went to a really nice fabric shop that sells mostly quilting supplies. Love Love fabric! I've been known to purchase fabric just because.
It's the same addiction to scrapbook paper.
Well I found a hand full of fat quarters in red, white, and blue.
Don't ya just love it!
Next I cut them in a triangles and sewed them inside out together. If you have a rotary fabric cutter it makes things go much faster!
Then I turned them right side out and gave them a good press.
I connected the triangles together using bias tape.
I used the extra wide double fold.
The little triangles fit sandwiched together inside the fold just perfect. This was you don't have to finish the top of the triangle. (less work!)
I made and extra one for my sister but don't tell her!
Thanks for stopping by.

OOO. .if your sister doesn't like it, I'll give you my address. .CUTE! It's been so HOT and droughty here that they have banned fireworks in our area. .and many area around us. .so I'm not much in the mood to decorate. .which is SO sad and not like my personality! Maybe next year! Enjoy your holiday!
Thanks, I love it too. It was easy to make too. Fireworks are banned here too. We haven't had much rain in months. We are 10 inches of rain behind. Also there are three fires burning in NC. One is in a neighboring county and the snoke has been around and causing lots of problems.
I love it!! I love bunting and you did such a great job!! I can hardly believe it is going to be the 4th of July in 6 days! Sorry to hear fireworks have been banned...ours have not been banned, but we are low on rain as well.
Hi Bonnie, i'm in Missouri and we get to see fireworks here. Yea! Although it has been so gosh darn hot here! Thanks for the compliment.
