The Red, White and Blue Blog hop has been so much fun and it's only just begun! Red White & Blue Blog Hop is hosted by
Jane's Fabrics and Quilts! A complete list of participants can be found
HERE. Let's go to the hop!
Today I get to show you the block that I designed for the blog hop! It's called 'Flip Flops'. When I think of summer and the month of July, I think of flip flops. Brings great memories of sand between my toes, lemonade, fun in the sun and water while waiting for the evenings fireworks. I love flip flops! So why not make something fun with a flippitty floppy design. You can either place this design on a 10 1/2" or 12 1/2" block, or on a tea towel. Let your imagination go! Wouldn't this be cute on an apron...
To get a copy of the pattern for Free! visit my
Craftsy shop. It's a free instant download. You can also find a copy
HERE.

| Here are the fabrics I choose to do my pattern.... |
 |
| Trace the pieces onto the heat n bond.... |
 |
| Iron onto the heat n bond pieces onto the wrong side of the fabric.... |
 |
| Cut your pieces out! |
 |
| Peel off the paper backing... and lay onto your fabric following the pattern layout. |
 |
| You can do just one 'Flip Flop' if you would like.... |
 |
| or two like the pattern shows! |
 |
| I put one set of 'Flip Flops' on a 10 1/2" cream fabric square and on a red striped tea towel... |
 |
| Sew around the edge using a blanket stitch... |
 |
| Time to decorate your flip flops.... you could leave them plain with just the stars, or embellish with buttons... |
 |
| I love yo-yos... so I embellished mine with yo-yos and buttons! |
 |
| 'Flip Flops' on a 10 1/2" cream fabric square. I built around the square with 2 1/2" red strips and 4" blue stripe strips to make a quick and easy table runner! |
 |
| I got this project done in an afternoon. It was fun to do! I now have a cute tea towel and table runner for on my patio table to celebrate summer, or the 4th of July! Enjoy! |
