Eight Hands Around Quilt Pattern

This Eight Hands Around Quilt is made from thirty quilt blocks in two different variations.

You'll choose six fabrics and and flip-flop them a bit to make the two block Layouts. Two neutral fabrics are used for (large) star backgrounds. While very similar, the variation gives the layout a bit more texture and visual movement.

Finished Quilt Block: 12" x 12"

Finished Quilt: about 68" x 80"

See Page 2 for yardages and a closer look at block variations.
