The patterns available on this page are all based around the red, white and blue colors of the American flag, and would be ideal for any project that you want to give a patriotic theme.
Whether you are making a quilt to hang on your wall for Independence Day or any of the other (many) American holidays, or want to sew one up as a heartfelt gift for someone who has served in the military, these patterns will help get you started.
Immediately.
This year, honor America with a quilt stitched from one of our free printable patriotic quilt patterns.
These printable patterns are in alphabetical order by the patterns' names.
For any pattern that includes templates or a paper piecing pattern, it is a MUST that you print at either '100%' or 'No scaling' in order for the page to print at the accurate size.
I recommend that you set up your printer, print 1 copy, and measure the 1" square included on it for you to check it's accuracy. Make any needed adjustments to the printing settings, print another copy. When it's the correct size, then print all the copies you need.
Remember to book mark this page to keep up with the new free printable patriotic quilt patterns as they are added to this collection.

This pattern was first available back in 2015, an oldie but a goodie!
I love how the designer used a striped fabric around the stars in the table runner. Lots of visual interest with no extra piecing. So smart!
A very simple design with few blocks to piece.
An ideal place to showcase your favorite blues.
This sample is made from prints in the Honor collection from Tonga Batiks.
The block in this design is called 'Rocky Mountain Chain' and you'll find directions to make it here on the website.
Sashing between the blocks means there's little match.
What a striking patchwork design.
The sample uses fabric from the Honor collection from Tonga Batiks.
Stylized American flags alternate with large Sawtooth Stars to form this bold edge to edge design.
Three cheers for the Red-White-Blue!
I just love how the designers let the blue and white star fabric do all the work. Saves a whole lot of piecing or applique time.
The Sawtooth stars are turned on-point to add a bit of dazzle to this creation.
Measure your table first, this is a wide one.
The field of stars is constructed from a variation of the Dutchman's Puzzle block that is shared here on the website.
If you'd prefer to paper piece these blocks, you'll find a free 4" finished pattern to download there. The links to those printable patterns are in the Cutting Chart, the row highlighted in yellow.

Not your Grandma's patriotic quilt design, right?! ;)
I just love how the designer has split up the Lone Star.
A very dramatic look done all in reds and white.
Will you put a dash of blue in yours?

This Confident Beginner friendly quilt can be used as either a table runner or a wall hanging.
The folded or connector corners technique is use so that even with all those points, you're starting with cut squares and rectangles.

This pattern uses Bargello-style strip piecing to get the piecing done. You'll need to label strips as you go to keep them all in order.
Don't you just love how the ombre red-white-blue fabric makes it look like there's so much more piecing in this quilt than there really is?
Though the sample for this pattern is in rainbow colors, can't you just see it in patriotic reds, whites, and blue?
It's just two basic blocks. A Rail Fence alternating with a Sawtooth Star.
Imagination. Passion. Creativity. It's Timeless.

This design is constructed from two different 12" finished block patterns.
It's the fabric choices that make it sing, 'Patriotic'!
The sample is imagined using prints from Andover's collection, Star Spangled.
Alternating blocks that finish at 12" make this patriotic patchwork fairly quick to piece.
What looks like 2 Flying Geese stacked on each other is really 4 half square triangles.
If you'd prefer to paper piece them as pairs of Flying Geese, you'll find instructions/patterns to make 4" finished units in the Arrowhead block tutorial, under Step 1. Choose the 4" finished units. You'll need to revise the cutting chart in this complimentary download from Timeless Treasures.

A nice size for a table topper or small wall hanging.
The true clincher for this pattern is that the ombre stripe from Americana by Whistler Studios does most of the work in the center star.
It takes just 4 (extremely) large diamonds to make each of the 8 diamonds to make it.
