Looking for a fresh new winter project that you can easily tackle in a weekend? I have just the quilt for you! I’m proud to announce that once again, I’ve teamed up with American Patchwork and Quilting on another stunning design that features my Lakeside Gatherings Flannels Collection. You all know how I love an efficient pattern that doesn’t waste a lot of fabric – especially if it yields more than one project! This little dazzler came to be after I realized that the scraps left behind when making my quilt “Shimmering Lake” (from the Lakeside Gatherings Flannels project collection) were exactly what I needed to create a second, smaller project that I’m calling “Swimming Upstream.”
“Swimming Upstream” finishes at 40 1/8″ x 50″, and will require 2 3/4 yds of backing fabric. Finished blocks are 3 1/2″ square. It’s not a very large quilt, which makes it a great option for a charming hanging accent on your lake house wall, or as an adorable quilt for a baby or small child. Even better, this little quilt is fairly simple to make and could easily be completed over a weekend if you put your mind to it.
The pattern for “Swimming Upstream” can be found on pages 30 – 35 of the February, 2024 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting, which is sold separately for $9.99 wherever American Patchwork and Quilting is sold. We will have a *limited number of copies available with the purchase of the “Swimming Upstream” kit while supplies last at both the retail store and on our website by clicking the button below (*sorry – these copies are reserved for customers who purchase “Swimming Upstream” kits only.
