Large Version: finished size 78" x 78"
Small Version: finished size 39" x 39"
Dash is my newest pattern and was inspired by a vintage quilt. It is a great project to play with color and value, plus a good opportunity to brush up on your piecing skills. The bold design works well with both solid and printed fabrics, and I created it to highlight my first collection of fabric. This pattern is suitable for experienced quilters or confident beginners. The pattern contains full-color diagrams and step-by-step instructions for both the Large Version, which finishes at 78" x 78", and the Small Version, finishing at 39" x 39".
