The Grand Ole Flag!
I designed this quilt about 10 yrs ago for a magazine that has been out of print a long time. Then in 2017 I remade it in one of my Moda Fabric lines with aqua sashing for a fresh fun look! Its super easy to cut all the flags, then chain sew them.
I finished it!! Quilted with my Aurifil Thread
The batting i used makes it wonderful.
I might put this on the front porch, I think i need a hanger for quilts on my porch.
What do you think?
This line will give you a similar feel to mine
I hope you enjoy making your own version and then Please come back and share a photo of your quilt with me down below!

Currently I’m challenged to learn free motion quilting on my Handi Quilter Amara long arm. I purchased it a little over a year ago and love it!! Since I’ll be retiring from my full-time job in 5 years or so, I plan to quilt for the public, earning supplemental income. I have been quilting since 1982; quilting on my Bernina domestic sewing machine. In that amount of time, I have amassed a large number of quilt tops, so I’ve been “practicing” on them, as well as a few new quilt tops I’ve made since purchasing my long arm. I do quite a bit of ruler work, but am more interested in custom, free motion quilting; I did not get the computerized Pro Stitcher, as I am on a budget, and love the look of custom design.
Love your tutorials, style, and patterns–keep making videos so we can keep learning:)
Thank you so much for the flag pattern. I can not wait to try it.
Thank you Pat for the pattern. I have made 3 for veteran quilt.They all love them. Thank you
Thanks you Pat for the free Flag Pattern. I love it and can’t wait to make one.
Regards, Judy
Your flag quilt is so nice! I like the aqua border which reminds me of the sky! Trimming it in red was the right thing to do. I would make a smaller one with 4 flags for the porch!
I would love to have a way to display a quilt on my front porch (well if I ever finished one that I kept for myself instead of giving away). But I’m afraid the yahoos around here would just try to destroy it or steal it or the wasps would make it their home!
Love your quilt ideas and your quilt alongs–even though my computer hard drive gets to hold many of the patterns more than I actually get to quilt along with you. But one day….. Thanks for sharing another wonderful pattern with us.
Cute pattern! I am another Canadian fan of Pats and must pass on a bit of information on hanging quilts outside. This is my experience…they fade and lose a lot of color over time. I hang small quilts on my front door and the morning sun has not been kind to them!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern Pat – you are such an inspiration!
Thank you Pat I love your site
Love this pattern & your version of it! Thanks for the free pattern! And yes, you do something on your porch to display your beautiful quilts! Also, I just signed up to take your class in September at our quilt guild in TN. Can’t wait to meet you & learn your wild & free appliqué method! Hope you’ll bring your new fabric line with you, especially precuts & any kits you may like have by then.
I took your advice and found a Canadian flag table runner on sew-sisters.com that could easily be extrapolated to make a quilt. Our flag is easier to applique and yours is easy to strip piece.
I made it for my step Dads 90th birthday on Memorial Day. I love and so did he. He puts it on the back of his chair.
Joan, I did a web search of “Canadian flag quilt pattern” and found several sites. Maybe one of those sites will be of interest to you and other Canadians. Good Luck & looking forward to what you find and make.

I made this pattern last year for an auction funding Vets. Thanks for the pattern, Pat.
I agree with Joan, as I am a proud Canadian.
I was unable to connect for class updates.
I agree as well.
I love this. I’m going to my sister, I’m going to get her to get the fabric so we can make it while I’m there. Fun…
I love the aqua borders & sashing it is so beautiful. I never would have picked it but that’s why you’re the designer & I’m the nurse!😆❤
Is there a supply list?
Your site is terrific and I enjoy the many patterns you offer. Many of us are Canadians and would certainly welcome the opportunity to create a flag quilt using our flag as well. Thanks for listening.
You definitely need a way to hang quilts on your porch…and when you figure it out, please share. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to have a shadow box type thing mounted to the house for seasonal wall hanging quilt display. Ha!
