I made these flags for the recent Prayer Flag Swap. My partners had the best themes. I had a lot of fun with my scraps on these!
First, Love is Love! Saying it once is not enough. With rainbow scrappiness of course!
The words were done with HTV on my Cricut.
The back is black and white to match the contrasting fringe with a fun rainbow ribbon accent.
The other flag was inspired by a quote from Emily Dickinson that my partner had pinned. As soon as I read it I knew I wanted to render it in scraps.
I was further inspired by several images I found online, but ultimately ended up mixing and matching with what worked as I went.
The back is black and white with some pops of yellow.
Thanks for looking!

Yes! I just rediscovered a treasure trove of squares you sent me. I think I was supposed to make quilt blocks with them.

I think I sent spares, so that if you wanted to make more of the black, white, and gold quilt blocks I made, you’d have enough fabric to make new blocks blend in.

I like the backs almost as much as the fronts! So creative, my friend!
OMGoodness! Don’t know where to start! Just LOVE all of the piecing, the sentiments, the outline stitching and the fringes. And the BACKS! I love making art on my backs too. These are outstanding prayer flags. Piecing beats printed or pre-made backgrounds every time!
Your talent really is boundless! These are so cool. I love your compositions and the sky on the second one is my favorite, but I do love me a rainbow. Lovely! Thank you for sharing these!
