Tamara Lap Quilt

This quilt has a traditional, symmetrical layout with a wintery, frosty feel thanks to the cool blues and soft yellows in the fabrics. It features a three by three layout using two alternate blocks, giving it a mosaic look. I had an art deco style in mind when I designed this quilt, and I love the results. The symmetry of the design with the cool tones give it a crisp, elegant look.

It features two borders - one with narrow framing strips, and a large border with triangles. There are instructions to sew the outer border in two different methods – one with large triangles sewn on an angle and the other breaking it down into pieced squares sewn together, simpler but with more seams.

Confident beginner to intermediate skill level. Skills needed for this project are: accurate ¼ inch seams, Flying Geese units, Diamond in a Square units, and Cat’s Cradle units. A 15 inch square ruler is helpful, but not necessary.
