Curiosity Free Quilt Pattern by Stacey Day
Description:
Curiosity pairs sixteen pieced cat blocks with star cornerstones and detailed sashing. Foundation-pieced sections form the cats’ bodies, ears, and surrounding pieces, while curved seams join the arcs within each block. The intermediate design also includes flying-geese units for the stars and separately pieced horizontal and vertical sashing. Finished at 98 inches square, the quilt combines four rows of cat blocks with a border around the complete arrangement.

Curiosity Free Quilt Pattern by Stacey Day quilt pattern summary
- Print and check the foundations and templates, joining the large template sections as directed. Cut the fabrics, including the fussy-cut mice and optional cat motifs.
- Foundation-piece the cat components, join the arcs with curved seams, and assemble the sixteen cat blocks. Keep each block’s solid and accent fabrics grouped together.
- Piece the horizontal and vertical sashing, then make flying-geese units for the star cornerstones. Join the star blocks and horizontal units into the sashing rows.
- Arrange the cat blocks in four rows with vertical sashing between them. Join the block rows and sashing rows, then add the outer borders around the center.
- Join the bias binding strips, layer the top with batting and backing, and baste. Quilt, trim the excess layers, and finish the quilt with binding.
