WhirliGig Free Quilt Pattern by Jill Reid
WhirliGig combines small whirligig blocks with larger half-square-triangle units in a 60 inch square quilt. Light prints are paired with black, red and blue Miniatures fabrics, and the small triangle units are sewn into four-part whirligig blocks. The larger triangle units appear alongside those blocks in the illustrated row arrangement. A print border with corner blocks encloses the patchwork, bringing the two patch sizes and the contrasting fabric groups together before quilting and binding complete the project.
