Bella's Bird Free Quilt Pattern by Jean Katherine Smith
Bella's Bird Free Quilt Pattern by Jean Katherine Smith
Description:
Bella’s Bird frames fabric rectangles with four differently sized side pieces to create twenty ten-inch blocks. The pattern uses nine fabrics from the Bella collection, giving specific combinations for the centers and frames. Directional prints and stripes are cut in selected orientations, and several centers are fussy-cut to alternate tall and wide motifs. The blocks form a 40 by 50-inch quilt, followed by a pieced backing, quilting, and straight-grain French-fold binding.
