These Stunning Cardinals Make a Big Impression
The Quilt is Easy Enough for Beginners!
This stunning quilt is based on a crocheted blanket made with granny squares. The design easily translates to a beautiful quilt constructed from squares and half-square triangles.
A pair of Cardinals take on a homespun look against a gingham-style background. Whether you choose brilliant colors or a more subdued palette the resulting quilt will surely be noticed and admired.
Hang it on a wall or drape it over the sofa for cool-weather snuggling. It will also be beautiful layered on top of a simple bedspread.

It would be fun to switch out blues for the reds and turn the Cardinals into Blue Jays. The quilt will be just as impressive and eye-catching.

Liz LePage for Connecting Threads created the quilt based on the blanket designed by While They Dream. The completed quilt is about 52″ x 60″.
However, it’s super easy to adjust the size. Simply enlarge or reduce the starting squares. Learn more about the quilt and how to change the size here.
