The quilt can be either hand or machine appliqued. Although the original was constructed for a poster bed, two more panels can be made to suit a more modern bed frame.The quilting stencil that depicts the actual quilting design from the original quilt is also included.

1886

Actually referred to as the " Windmill Blade Triangle Quilt" by the Shelburne Museum, Clarissa's quilt is not merely a charming scrap quilt. With meticulous thought to detail, she has chosen color gradations to create a pinwheel effect as the center of each block. Using antique fabric reproductions, or modern day brights, this quilt offers endless opportunities for creativity. Make an exact reproduction or, utilizing the enclosed worksheets, design a new setting for your blocks in order to develop your own version.

Finished dimensions
approximately 75" x 87"

Quick piecing and hand methods are given for the designing of the hour-glass shapes. Also included is a page of " colorways" (color examples for fabricating the center pinwheels), quilting stencils, and, as in all the patterns, a Certificate of Completion suitable for framing when your quilt is finished.
