Flags on a Stick

I have been so impressed with all of the wonderful flags so far. (Thank you Mdm Samm and Thearica for hosting this wonderful hop) All of the flags are so unique and fun! I would love to wave any on them at my home! I thought about what type of flag I would like to make. It was difficult to come up with what to do. But one morning, I'm talking two o'clock in the morning I came up with an idea! I will make a Halloween flag because I love Halloween. I know it's certainly not the right time of year, but oh well, when an idea hits you in the middle of the night, I have to run with it. So here is my flag on a stick.

I decided to use my witch paper piecing pattern for the main design.
This pattern can be found free on my website and also on Craftsy.

I added some borders and rick rack. Prairie Points finish off the bottom edge.
I worked on this project while on a mini quilt retreat at mom's house. I'm holding
my finished flag on a dowel. It'll look really cute hanging on the flag stand at home.

The finished measurements are 12" x 18", perfect for
my garden flag holder at home.

I would not have thought to make a garden flag before. I am looking forward to putting this out for Halloween next year. After making this flag, it would be fun to make several for throughout the year. I was please with how quickly this project went together. Seeing everyone's projects has inspired me! Have fun hopping around.

I get to share today with all of these talented quilters;
