BOOK- Sew Place Like Home – The Complete Quilt Project Pattern
Step into a world of magic and adventure with our Sew Place Like Home Quilt. Inspired by L. Frank Baum’s ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,’ this quilt is a true masterpiece that will transport you to the Land of Oz with every stitch. Sell this pattern on its own, or use it to sell fabric by creating a kit. The minimum yardage required to kit this quilt top project is 10.7 yards or 9.7 metres. Materials needed and fabric recommendations are provided in the pattern.
The finished quilt measures 65″ x 74″. This pattern is intended for the experienced quilter and uses traditional piecing methods (no paper piecing). Each block is meticulously detailed with step-by-step diagrams and written instructions, making the piecing process an enjoyable experience. Fabric layout guides are provided to make the most of your fabric. Choose to make your quilt with or without the mini-block borders containing famous iconography from the story.
The Sew Place Like Home Quilt was initially released in nine parts as a block-of-the-month. Its blocks are designed to help improve piecing skills and build confidence as a quilter. The quilter can make this quilt as a solo project, or you can split it into chunks to create your own block-of-the-month experience with customers and friends. We’ve included our best practices to help you create a successful project, including fabric prep, pressing, matching points and the daunting task of finding your 1/4″ seam allowance.
The included blocks (with finished measurements) are: Dorothy (8.75″ x 16.5″) Toto (7.25″ x 16.5″) The Scarecrow (14.5″ x 20.5″) The Tin Woodman (14.5″ x 19″) The Cowardly Lion (14.5″ x 18″) Glinda the Good (14.5″ x 22.5″) The Wicked Witch (14.5″ x 19.5″) The Winged Monkey (14.5″ x 16.5″) The Emerald City (16″ x 39.75″) The included option mini-blocks to create the narrative mini-block borders (with finished measurements) are: Rainbows (7″ x 4″) Emeralds (3.5″ x 4″) Hearts (4.5″ x 4″) Cyclones (5″ x 4″) Houses (5.25″ x 4″) Poppies (4.25″ x 4″) This pattern is fully illustrated and professionally printed in full colour.
