According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary: “In English, redux describes things that have been brought back—metaphorically, that is.” So I’m bringing back this quilt from about ten years ago, as I had a request from Sue for information about this pattern.
I noodled around on here, but noticed it wasn’t really a pattern, just a loose set of instructions embedded in three different blog posts, as I made while I was recovering from shoulder surgery. I took on the challenge to get its ready, and spent the 3rd of July redrawing the pattern, typing up the instructions, figuring out the wording.
So Happy Independence Day with a free pattern, on this the day we signed the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago.
Download it now for free here, as soon it will live in my pattern shop for a small price, as it’s a PatternLite pattern. You can find it here when that happens.
Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

And when was the original?

Me, sewing a blanket stitch around the stars with my arm in a sling, two days post-op.

“Scissors”? What are these “scissors” you talk about? Oh, like Betsy Ross would have used!
Aren’t rotary cutters and rulers so much better?!?
What a sweet little pattern. Hope you have a fun, cool, and safe day.
What a sweet little quilt. I am so impressed that you found ways to cut and sew after your surgeries.
Happy fourth! I am thinking about that sweet little quilt in wool appliqué !
Happy July 4th. Thank you for the sweet quilt pattern.
Thank you for sharing this little cutie with us! Happy 4th!
Sewing with your arm in a sling is true love for the craft, not that I am surprised! What a sweet quilt and gift to everyone you have fashioned. Wishing you and all your readers a wonderful 4th!
Ah yes, and Family Search notified me that I’m related (VERY distantly) to one of the signers of the Declaration. I’ll bet you are, too.
