Happy Jacks Free Quilt Pattern by Stacey Day
Happy Jacks alternates fussy-cut picture centers with pinwheel centers inside pieced triangular frames. Stacey Day designed the advanced-beginner quilt using Mary Engelbreit prints, with fifteen blocks in each of the two arrangements. The blocks form six rows of five, and a fussy-cut house-print border completes the outside edge. The finished quilt measures sixty-five by seventy-seven inches, while the cutting directions provide two triangle-cutting options to help maintain the direction of the prints.
