The Puppies is a patchwork sampler pattern featuring three dog blocks: Smokey, Toby, and Lulu. These adorable puppies are made of square and rectangular pieces sewn together using conventional patchwork techniques. No templates or paper piecing! Pattern includes two quilt sizes, both of which can be made using either 10” x 10” squares or fat quarters.
The Collection Quilt is an exploration of shape and color in a 9-part series. Have fun building skill, as well as gaining confidence and comfort with hand appliqué.

Tangelo is triangles made easier.
I’m not one for working with special rulers or doing a ton of precise pre-cutting, which is why paper-piecing is an attractive way to tackle this project! In the cover sample I incorporated a variety of substrates, so it’s got loads of texture going on.
Another fun project idea with this quilt would be to incorporate text into the triangles using free motion quilting or embroidery to create personalized bunting. This would be especially cute on one of the smaller sizes for a baby or wall hanging.
Project Size(s): 68″ x 72″ (+3 other size options)
Techniques: intermediate paper/foundation piecing, basic piecing
