Shoestrings: A Playful Quilt Pattern

Shoestrings!

Quilt Size 42" x 56" - easy to scale for custom sizes! This is a "three yard" pattern!

Instruction Headings - so that you can easily find your place and keep track. Maybe others don't have this problem, but I sometimes find quilt patterns confusing.

Fabric requirements, cutting instructions, and sewing steps all seem jumbled together, so that it's easy to get lost. I created this pattern in a step-by-step manner that avoids all the boxes and small print and extra steps. You get exactly which step you need, when you need it, to make this quilt. Sewing shouldn't be stressful, it should be fun! You'll need two yards of background and one yard of print for the quilt top.

Jelly Strip Friendly – for a scrappy look

Piecing – uses the classic "snowball" piecing method (instructions for this method are included).

This pattern can be a little more masculine and great for boys, with the right fabric! Try it in a denim blue or a mix of blues and gray. A patriotic version would be beautiful with red and blue blocks on a white background. Once you get the pattern and see how easy this quilt is to make, your imagination will soar with endless ideas!
