Make a Small Attic Windows Quilt

Wednesday October 25, 2006
My sister Donna made this quilt for a book we did many years ago. Called Mother's Fantasy Windows, it's an Attic Windows quilt with a twist. Instead of like-blocks sewn side by side, the quilt has multi-unit blocks in three different configurations. Choose a theme for your windows and start sewing. It goes together quickly and easily--and gives you a chance to practice setting-in. Don't worry, that method isn't difficult at all once you're accustomed to it and it gives the quilt a more streamlined appearance than windows with half-square triangles at their corners.

I love feedsacks - they should look really good in the windows! -Janet

Cute idea! I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Attic Windows. I’d like to try this using one large scenery print for a continuous “view” out of all the windows.
