8 days of Red, White and Blue Quilts - day 8

Happy 4th of July! We're celebrating Independence Day with 8 days of red, white and blue quilts. The Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776), says: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." We hope your happiness includes plenty of quilting.

Patriotic Splash by Jo Hahn

Patriotic Splash is based on the free Paisley Splash pattern by Mytesha & Katie (MY❤KT) for Windham Fabrics (click here to get the pattern!)  The elephant, appliqued in a flag fabric, is holding a small flag pin (at the end of his trunk) while joyfully spraying drops of patriotic elements into the air.  How appropriate for a salute to America and the Fourth of July!
