Main Quilt Pattern
The 2023 main quilt is “Pinwheel Crossings,” designed by Beverly McCullough. Blending a love of threads and fiber in a quilt design, the pinwheel blocks are set on point with cross-stitch inspired sashing. Look for the “cross-stitches” (the big X’s) in the sashing between the scrappy pieced blocks.
Quilted Threads’ version of the shop hop pattern features a variety of floral prints from Rifle Paper Company and others, accented by soft blue blender prints. The finished throw-size quilt measures 58 x 77 inches. Fabric kits will be available during the shop hop. The free pattern is included with your shop hop registration materials.
To view the other participating shops’ versions of “Pinwheel Crossings,” please go to their websites.
