Quilter dopers: where can I get instructions for this?

What is the name of the quilt pattern shown here?

Does anyone know, off the top of their head, where I can get yardage information for it? I do see that it is a simple strip quilt.

I have no idea. Did you email the blog owner? She may know.

I’ve seen a variation of that on Fons and Porter’s show, but their website doesn’t have the pattern. But they do have several triangle ruler-templates which they’ve developed themselves, and they’d be good to have for that project.

I just went through all my books and magazines looking at patterns, and I don’t remember one like that. It’s very pretty!

Since it’s so scrappy, maybe you could wing it, with the yardage. I usually buy 5 yards for backing, 1.5 yards for binding, and 2 or 3 yards for borders and sashing.

Since that’s usually too much fabric :slight_smile: I’ve ended up with a huge stash to use for scrappy tops.

Spider Web. Here is a pattern for an eight-segment paper pieced one, which may give you the measurements for the strips you need. But, yes, as mentioned you could just strip piece and then cut at a 60 degree angle symmetrically from the perpendicular line across the strips for a six-segment web. What size are you thinking of?

According to my lovely wife, it’s a solid/striped variation of a 1000 Pyramids pattern.

I found a similar quilt in Kaffe Fassett’s Quilt Road–My Fair Lady on page 19. I calculated out a variation that uses sets of 4 strips each 1.75" wide, instead of Kaffe’s mismatched 3 strips. I want a queen size quilt, so I added a row of webs along both dimensions of the quilt. Then, I ordered tons of FABRIC! I don’t do quilts very often, and when I do, I usually go for Moda. They make 108" wide backing fabric, and put out “bundles” that have either a fat quarter or a half yard of every fabric in a certain line. For this quilt, a fat quarter bundle calculates out just PERFECTLY for the spider webs. Mistletoe Manor by Three Sisters. Happy sigh.

Like the kitten threads, mentions of fabric necessitate a picture. :slight_smile: That looks gorgeous. It looks similar to a roses-themed collection I got some of for a throw-size.

A guild member friend is a big fan of Kaffe Fassett’s fabrics and patterns. She got to meet him and won a ribbon in a show of quilts made based on his designs. Hers was gorgeous.

Oooops. I didn’t know about the picture rule for quilts! Kittens and quilts, kittens and quilts…

I usually order my quilt fabric from The Thrifty Needle if my LQS doesn’t have what I want (and when do they ever? They sell out of Moda lines literally within a week).
