Eight Hands Around Quilt Pattern

Friday November 14, 2008
quilt patternsHere's a brand new quilt pattern, Eight Hands Around, made with the traditional quilt block of the same name. The blocks are constructed in the same way, but with some fabric flip-flopping to add a bit of movement across the surface of the quilt. The pattern gives you an opportunity to practice making half square triangles and flying geese. Overall, the quilt finishes at about 68" x 80", with blocks at 12" square. You can make it larger or smaller by adding or subtracting blocks, and it's easy to change the theme -- just choose different fabrics.

When you are on the pattern page, look in the upper right hand corner of the page. There’s a little printer icon. Hit that link and the page should come up for printing, with ads stripped out. Let me know if that’s what isn’t working for you.
