The PDF pattern provides instructions for both a baby size quilt as well as a lap size quilt, perfectly for snuggling under. The 10-page full-color PDF pattern takes you step-by-step through the complete creation of this quilt and is perfect beginner and advanced quilters alike. The pattern is both fat-eighth and fat-quarter friendly, and I'm also working on a special fat quarter quilt kit over at Pink Castle Fabrics, so stay tuned for more on that!
Have you ever fallen in love with a print so much that you couldn't bring yourself to cut it up for a quilt? Then this is the perfect pattern for you! This pattern is just right for large-scale prints as well as fun novelty prints. The blocks for this quilt are inspired by the traditional square snowball block and create a fun way to show off some of your favorite prints, much like the photo corners that are so popular with scrapbookers.
This was the first quilt that I've really taken out to shoot with my new camera. It just happened to be the coldest day we've seen in Florida in a very long time, but I braved the cold to get some good photos since the sun was so fantastic. Most of these photos were pure luck, because I'm definitely still learning how to use the darned thing!
One of my good blog friends, Dana, tested this pattern for me and used Aneela Hoey's gorgeous upcoming line, A Walk in the Woods. Unfortunately, her computer is acting up at the moment, but as soon as it is, I'll be sharing her quilt as well!
There's only room for so many quilts in my house, so my Photo Corners quilt is busy getting used to a much colder climate out in Salt Lake City, with my dear friend Amy, who's gearing up for a new quilt-along. She has a December birthday just like me, and sent me some yummy fabric for my birthday, so naturally, I sent her a quilt to say thank you :) She took some great photos of the quilt in the snow.
The Photo Corners PDF quilt pattern includes all of the information you'll need to make this quilt, including color photos and complete piecing diagrams to follow, as well as requirements for batting and binding. Two finished sizes are available for you to choose form in the pattern, baby size 47" x 51 1/2" and lap size 62" x 71".

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Did you make that with a Layer Cake? I have one of the same fabrics sitting in my sewing room and I have been trying to decide which pattern to use. So I'm wondering if the Layer Cake squares would work on your pattern?
ReplyDeleteThanks
I have a couple FQ stacks that I'm not willing to chop into! This might be perfect to actually USE them! Yay!

Yet another winner - way to go, Elizabeth!
