Down South — A New Pattern

Down-South

I’m so excited to be able to share my second quilt pat­tern, Down South, today.   Pat­terns are avail­able in paper and PDF format from my shop or, as a PDF on my Pay­Hip site for any­one in the EU.

Down South is a fat quarter friendly quilt that was inspired by a trip we took earli­er this year to the United States.   My hus­band and I togeth­er with our lovely friends trav­elled through a num­ber of the south­ern states of Amer­ica.     Each of the fat quar­ters used in this ver­sion of the quilt was pur­chased as a souven­ir dur­ing that trip but you could just as eas­ily make it with a fat quarter bundle or even a cur­ated bundle from your favour­ite fab­ric store or stash.

With easy to fol­low instruc­tions and loads of dia­grams Down South is a great quilt for all levels of quilter and is per­fect for chain piecing.

Each block fin­ishes at 16″ and there is no sash­ing to worry about so the quilt top comes togeth­er super fast.

And in case you were won­der­ing what it looks like if the blocks are all made from the same fabric.… Down-South-Red-&-Aqua

I think I’m going to need to make anoth­er one just like this!   Oh and there’s a mini ver­sion of the pat­tern com­ing soon.

I hope you enjoy sew­ing Down South as much as I did -:)

Have a great weekend.

  1. Wow, Peta, fant­ast­ic! I love how you’ve made it a ‘travel memory’ quilt, using a FQ from all the places you’ve vis­ited. You could really make this to com­mem­or­ate all sorts of quilt-type events. I think I need to get myself to more quilt-type events!

  2. This is stun­ning Peta. I’ve been eagerly await­ing this arrival and I can­’t wait to start my own Down South quilt. Anoth­er beau­ti­ful job, con­grat­u­la­tions! A x
