You are ordering a digital copy of a Counted Quilt "Painting" quilt pattern to be downloaded and printed by you. This is a 6 page COLOR quilt pattern for a simple, traditionally pieced, strip cut, quilt pattern. This is made from my original artwork.
My teenage daughter loves to paint, as well as my younger son who uses it as an outlet for his wiggles. I really think this is a fun quilt for all ages. A neat way for a quilter to use there artistic skills to honor another form of art.
The quilt is made in my Counted Quilts style.
Step 1: Cut strips for each fabric color.
Step 2: Cut those strips into rectangles of varying lengths and label alphabetically.
Step 3: Follow a full page labeled color image of the quilt, assembling piece by piece, row by row. Shaping is done with quick corner half square triangles, drawing a sew line corner to corner.
These are the perfect patterns for Beginning Quilters. All straight cutting, all straight seams.
The pattern has instructions for 3 sizes: 36x42, 24x28, and 48x56
The main instruction is for what I call the crib or baby size 36x42. Though with the 3 inch border shown in the pictures the finished size is 42x48 which makes a great lap or toddler quilt. The pattern also includes instructions for a scaled down to a 24x28, and scaled up image 48x56. Adding borders to these sizes gives you even more flexibility. To make it as center feature of a twin bed, or just a simple walling hanging for an artists studio.
