Tied Free Quilt Pattern by Kerri Thomson
Tied creates double bow tie blocks from light and dark fabric squares, adding small dark corners with sew-and-flip piecing. The blocks alternate their direction within eight long columns, separated by narrow sashing that also frames the top. Kerri Thomson designed the advanced-beginner quilt with Charcoal Palette fabrics by Tim Holtz. It finishes at 81 by 83 inches and contains seventy-two nine-inch blocks, with light and dark fabric groups listed for the scrappy arrangement.
