Apples And Dishes Quilt

Combine traditional Broken Dishes and needleturn appliqué Apple Core blocks in Julie Wallace’s large scrap bed quilt pattern to create a traditional-style patchwork and appliqué quilt.

• A fabulous stashbusting scrap quilt – Julie combined floral, paisley, spot and stripe print fabrics in her quilt, but you can use all sorts of fabric colours and prints from your stash
• Make it modern by using brighter colours and modern fabrics
• Full materials list included, ensuring that you have everything you need to complete the project
• Detailed step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams guide you through each phase of the project, including Julie’s method for streamlining the stitching of the half-square triangle units in batches of 12 at a time
• Pattern sheet included with full size pattern provided for the Apple Core block, ready to trace
• It’s easy to vary the size of the quilt: just make more or fewer blocks
• A very versatile pattern that can be made as a gift for anyone, use kids fabrics to make it for a child, or pick colours and fabric prints to suit the recipient’s home décor or favourite colours
• A project for quilters with intermediate-level skills or a committed beginner can simplify the project by using a plain outer border, omitting the Apple Core blocks
