Flowers and Feathers Free Quilt Pattern by Susan McDermott
Flowers and Feathers Free Quilt Pattern by Susan McDermott
Description:
Flowers and Feathers combines an appliqued urn, flowers and birds with repeated square-in-square borders. Susan McDermott’s design uses WILLIAMSBURG’s India Chintz fabrics and gives a finished size of 92 by 100 inches. Fusible-web applique forms the central arrangement, with chain-stitch embroidery for the birds’ feet. Additional floral applique blocks interrupt a later pieced border, and broad fabric borders surround the patchwork before the quilt is finished with bias binding.

Flowers and Feathers Free Quilt Pattern by Susan McDermott quilt pattern summary
- Enlarge the applique pattern and prepare the center fabric, urn, flowers, birds and bias stems. Fuse the shapes in place, secure their edges with a small zigzag stitch and embroider the birds’ feet with chain stitch.
- Attach the first narrow border. Piece the square-in-square units for the second and fourth borders, then join and attach the second border and its following fabric border.
- Make the eight floral applique blocks and combine them with the remaining square-in-square units for the fourth border. Add the fifth and sixth fabric borders, piecing the long strips as directed.
- Layer the finished top with batting and backing, quilt and bind the edges.
