Happy 4th of July and welcome to all Red, White and Blue Blog Hoppers. My apologies to everyone for posting so late. My plans to post last night after dinner went awry when we found out our phone service was out and of course our internet was out with it. Our good friends at Verizon informed us that we will have our service back by July 11th. Ugh!!! I've eagerly visited all of the participating blogs this week and am really excited about hosting the hop here on my blog. I didn't want to miss my big day so I drove 35 minutes to use the WiFi at Panera Breads in Brookfield, CT.
I have two 12.5 inch blocks that I designed to share as well as a giveaway. The first block is a stylized flag using twenty seven 2.5 inch HST (finishing at 2 inches) and a 6.5 inch blue square with rough edge machine applique wonky stars.
The second block is hand appliqued and was made using Darlene Zimmerman's Easy Dresden ruler. I used a 4 inch strip for the blue blades, the red is made with 2.5 inch strips and the white blades are cut from 1.5 inch strips. The center star is also hand appliqued. I plan on making 3 more blocks varying the color placement to turn it into a table runner.
