String Feathers quilt

Create a bright, bold, modern quilt with string-pieced appliqué central design, and string-pieced border with Megan Manwaring’s quilt pattern. This is a fun, scrappy quilt project to create in bold, patterned fabrics.

• Use a wide variety of scrap fabrics to create the look of a scrappy quilt — use everything and anything you have available — the more variation of fabrics, the scrappier it looks
• Have fun playing with fabric by picking a bold patterned fabric for your background and borders
• Create your templates for the appliqué centre by tracing your shapes from the included pattern sheet
• Megan shares her tips on what fabrics to use for your string-pieced fabric
• The appliqué is made by using needleturn appliqué, but you can adapt to your preferred appliqué method
• Detailed instructions and diagrams take you through cutting your fabrics, the central appliqué design, creating your borders and completing your quilt
• Instructions include how Megan hand-quilted her finished quilt
• Ideal project for advanced quilters
