I designed this for a blog hop a few years ago and it's still one of my favorite summertime designs! 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 or a 10 minute table runner...

 |
| 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! |
It's also a great tea towel design and can embellish any project that you
think up... Let's celebrate the 4th of July!
Happy Quilting!
Sooo cute! I love the flip flops, but the flag is great to.
