Quilt Pattern: Which Way Do We Go?

Sunday August 23, 2009

quilt patternI designed this quilt to work with a brightly colored Alexander Henry border print that was passed along to me after the death of my sister, Carol. It took me awhile to decide how to use the print, but this strippy-set quilt seemed to do the trick -- and it's a quilt that most everyone has enjoyed. Read through the pattern a few times before you begin making the quilt, just to make sure you understand the steps, and assemble a few of the Winged Square blocks before you make the units for all of them -- in case you need to make sewing adjustments.

PS - If you like the Winged Square blocks used in this quilt, be sure to take a look at my Christmas Table Runner pattern. It's made with the same block, but a larger version of it. Simply switch fabric types to make a table runner that suits any season.
