Yamin is known for her scrappy one-patch quilts, and she's
sharing one of her favorites with us to celebrate the debut of
her 40's-inspired fabric collection, COME
QUILT WITH ME. Designed and pieced by Pat herself, the
project was then quilted and finished by Margrette Carr.
Editor's Note: We loved the quilting stitches on the border, a
chance to try out a few of those underutilized decorative
stitches found on most sewing machines. They give the border a
beveled frame effect. |
| NOTE:
You can recreate Pat's "Twisted Tumbler" wall hanging
using the template provided
here, but for best results (including easier cutting of
layers of fabrics and marking of the seam allowances), we
recommend the use of her acrylic "goof-proof"
template. To order the Twisted Tumbler template, visit Come
Quilt With Me. |
You'll Need: |
A varied
assortment of COME
QUILT WITH ME prints
Coordinating solids (try AUNT
GRACE SOLIDS)
1 yard backing
1 yard batting
Twisted Tumbler template (optional) |
-
Cut fabrics using the template. The design show
uses 98 patches (fabrics are used more than once)
- Sew the patches together by hand or machine in
diagonal rows, starting with 2 patches, then 4, then
6, then 8, etc. It helps to lay out the patches on a
design wall or flannel first. (Diagram 1)
- Assemble the design to desired size and press,
squaring off the sides to create a triangular wall
hanging, or leave the irregular edge created by the
blocks themselves.
- Layer the top, batting and backing and baste
layers together. Quilt by hand or machine.
- Bind the outside edges using your favorite method,
and attach a hanging sleeve.
