Wave Your Flag Table Runner

My Version of the Wave Your Flag Table Runner, a Free Pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop

Just in time for Flag Day (June 14) and the 4th of July! Join in the Fat Quarter Shop Quilt Along (affiliate link) and make a patriotic table runner. The pattern is even free! What could be better?

I am thrilled to be one of the Fat Quarter Shop Bloggers for the Wave Your Flag Table Runner Quilt Along. The Fat Quarter Shop (affiliate link) let me pick fabric from their patriotic fabric lines. I chose Red & Blue and Roses Too! by Faye Burgos for Marcus Fabrics. I love these colors of red, white, and blue, and I love red roses as well. What a great combination. See the fabrics that I chose below. (The stripe of roses is for the binding.)
