While sewing I took a lot of images of the process and decided to write up my first pattern. It took at lot (in words a lot) longer than I thought and was a lot more work then I anticipated. It is a very detailed pattern and is in total 17 pages long. The lovely Terry did a great job in proof reading (thank you again) to correct some of my more "Genglish" expressions. But now I am finally happy with it and ready to reveal the pattern. May I proudly present:
This pattern is suitable for
advanced beginners and one of its best features is that it does not use paper
piecing to assemble the outer corner units of the blocks but instead a
technique that is just as accurate but does not waste fabric and is also
quicker.
The ‘Playtime’ quilt pattern
includes:
1.
Fabric
measurements for 3 different quilt sizes (Baby/Crip, Lap and Twin) and two
different styles (all blocks different/ all blocks the same)
2.
Cutting
instructions
3.
Fabric
and colour suggestions
4.
A
picture supported detailed tutorial on the construction of the block (without
paper piecing)

ReplyDeleteLeanne and everybody else. I fixed the link in Etsy. I forgot to set it to multiple items, which really was a bit stupid..... One learns everyday.
