3 sizes: Wall 24"x28", Crib 36"x42, and Lap 48"x56"
A great pattern for beginning quilters. All straight cutting, and straight seams. The instructions include fabric yardage, cutting instructions, triangle tips, sewing instructions, and basic finishing instruction.
The pattern first uses a chart with the given number of strips to be cut for each color. Second, it has a set of charts with piece lengths to be cut and labeled from those strips. The shaping is done with quick corner triangles, or the “snowball method” where a sew line is drawn corner to corner on a square and place on top of another square or rectangle. Once those squares are marked you follow a full page color labeled image of the quilt top, assembling piece by piece row by row.
This quilt started as a custom request for a more realistic forward facing horse, than the cute Baby Horse quilt pattern. She also asked for a painted horse (image 2), if you are interested in that variation let me know.
It makes a great gift for horse lovers of all ages from wall size to lap size.
