Introducing Patty Piper!

admin — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 03:57:35 +0000

Barbara Chojnacki of Six Gables Designs announces a series of Patty Piper patterns beginning with Patty Piper Pieced a Pair of Painless Pointless Pinwheels, all of which all make two projects at a time. Saves time and money!

“Patty Piper Pieced a Pair of Painless Pointless Pinwheels” is a beginner-easy quilt. I give directions for two sizes- a large cuddle quilt (48″ x 60″) as well as twin size. With this pattern you piece the blocks, cut them in half, use half for each quilt. The light/dark value placement is reversed. To make each quilt unique, a different large scale print is used for each border. This is a great pattern for siblings that share a room; the quilts coordinate, but you can choose a border fabric representing each child’s interests. For quilters looking for a simple pattern suitable for flannel- this is “flannel friendly”. Available via QuiltWoman.com
