QM Patterns: Warm Wishes, Bed-size


 Instructions

Directions are for both the long double comforter and the twin comforter. Information specific to the twin size is given in [ ].

Illustrations within the pattern include tabs that show which direction seam allowances should be pressed. Border seam allowances are pressed away from the quilt center unless otherwise noted.

Step 1 About This Quilt

Notice that the bird print A patches have frames that march across the quilt top in alternating colors. To create this illusion of movement, choose 2 strikingly different colors for the outside strips of the bands.

Step 2 Assembling the Quilt Top

Join the strips to make the bands. Cut the bands into units.



Orienting the units as shown for each row, join the A patches and units to make the row 1's--4's. Sew the rows together in the order shown. Sew the border 1 side strips to the quilt. After pressing, trim any extra length. Add the border 1 top and bottom strips in the same way. For the queen size, repeat to add the border 2 strips.
