Ships and Violins Quilt Pattern - Alentejana
Ships and Violins is Cristina de Miranda, a talented designer and quilter who has taken us by storm here at Fabric Spark. This gifted quick study has been designing and making her whole life but turned to quilting only 3 years ago, and like many of us, has never looked back. Her patterns are beautifully written, completely original and versatile (see the individual patterns for a wide range of sizes and projects).
ALENTEJANA (ATJ) is a traditionally pieced pattern inspired by Portuguese woven blankets known as manta alentejana.
The pattern includes four sizes: pillow, baby, throw and twin. The pillow pattern is a double-sided project and requires a 14" zipper. (You may choose to make two single-sided pillows with an envelope backing, if you prefer.)
The pattern's difficulty is intermediate due to the number of strip sets required.
