    Two new Patterns

    Last Modified: November 18, 2010 by Amy · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 8 Comments

    After a few years of writing patterns for a local quilt shop, and after a few requests, I am finally getting my act together and polishing and publishing some of them.  These are the latest two. Both patterns come as instantly downloadable PDF files, 4 pages long with color photos.  They will continue to be available in my Pattern Shop.
    Windows Quilt Pattern $7.50

    This pattern is charm pack and scrap friendly. I’ve also done all the math and written it so that there is minimal amounts of wasted fabric (because I hate fabric waste!)  Fabric Requirements: 35 print 5” squares (1 Charm Pack or a total of ¾ yards of fabric), 2 yards total of various 2 ¼” and 3″ strips, Sashing: 1 ¾  yard solid white fabric, Outside print border: 1 yard, Binding fabric: ½ yard (or ⅝ yard if you prefer bias binding), Back: 3 ½ yards. 

    Hour Glass Quilt Pattern $8.00
    Buy Now
    This quilt pattern is Layer Cake Friendly and a lot faster and easier than it looks. The fabric requirements are: 48 – 10” squares (1 layer cake + two ⅓ yard cuts of fabric OR twelve ⅓ yard cuts) Inside border – ¼ yard fabric, Outside border – 1 ⅓ yard, Binding – ½ yard  Backing – 3 ¾ yards

    Kits for this Hour Glass quilt (pattern is included) are still available at American Quilting in Orem, Utah.  You can order one by calling 801-802-7841.  There are three options for border fabrics (subject to availability):

      Both quilts are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your talent – right down to making sure the math is all good, so that we don't waste fabric (just, like you, I want to use up every precious bit).

      Amy, these are some beautiful quilts! I haven&#39;t been by your blog in ages, but thought of you as I&#39;m planning another trip to the UK next week! Wondering if you have any recommendations for me? (You served your mission there, right?) It&#39;s my 3rd trip over there, but there is so much to see, each time something new. <br />So far our plans are London for 1 week, followed by

      Amy, are so talented! I love the Hour Glass quilt so much, you have me wondering whether there would be time to get a quilt made before Christmas. I can just see it over the back of my sofa.

      I just LOVE the colors of the hourglass quilt! I wish I could buy a kit that had all the same fabrics in it!
