Pantograph: Dino Feet from The Quilting Cottage

Skill(s) Needed: Being able to find and maintain a consistent ¼” seam.  

Why I like this pattern: This pattern is perfect for those of us who pre-starch our fabrics.  With most layer cake patterns, pre-starching means your blocks will be too small but this pattern doesn’t use the full 10” square.  You can pre-starch your little heart out!

I also like how easy it is to scale this pattern.  1 layer cake is perfect for a baby quilt.  Two layer cakes is enough for a twin size.

(I strongly recommend purchasing your sewing machine from a local store that offers repair services. However, if you don’t have a local store, you can buy it online from Amazon (https://amzn.to/4hujsjN) or other retailers. )

Note: I am a firm believer in supporting local business…especially quilt shops.  There are so few left and more are closing all the time.  I include these Amazon affiliate links so you can easily see what products I used and because not everyone has a quilt shop or fabric store close by.  Even if you do, they may not carry everything you are looking for.  In addition, these links help support my channel and website so I can continue to provide you with great content.
