Use Bandanas to Create a Charming Quilt

Large Blocks Make It Easy to Sew Together!
Let cotton bandanas do the heavy lifting in this charming quilt. Not only do they lend delightful farmhouse charm, but they also make the quilt look more complex than it actually is.
The paisley pattern on the bandanas creates a striking overall design with minimal piecing. Since the pieces are large, the quilt sews together quickly.
Plus, it’s beautiful in any color theme. You’ll find a nice selection of bandanas to choose from here.
The pattern, from The Red Leaf Studio, includes tips for working with bandanas and squaring them to optimize their paisley designs. The finished quilt size may vary depending on the designs of the bandanas you choose, but the one shown here is about 72” x 72”.
