Washington's Legacy Free Quilt Pattern by Karen Witt
Washington's Legacy Free Quilt Pattern by Karen Witt
Description:
Washington’s Legacy places a fussy-cut portrait of George Washington at the center of a sequence of pieced frames. Karen Witt’s beginner-level design features Nancy Gere’s Old Glory IV collection and finishes at 60 inches square. The center portrait is appliqued onto a striped background before red triangles surround it. Rectangles, square-in-a-square blocks and half-square triangles build the surrounding rows, with fussy-cut flag squares positioned to preserve their direction.

- Fussy-cut the portrait and applique it to the striped center square using your chosen method. Add the red setting triangles and trim the center to the specified measurement.
- Piece and attach the first two surrounding rows from print rectangles, triangular center units and corner squares. Check the intermediate center measurements as directed before continuing.
- Make the half-square triangle corners and attach the third frame. Piece the square-in-a-square units and combine them with the rectangles and corner units for the fourth row.
- Make the final half-square triangle units and fussy-cut the flag squares. Arrange these pieces around the center according to the layout, keeping each directional flag correctly oriented.
