Elegant Wings Free Quilt Pattern by Stacey Day
Elegant Wings frames fussy-cut fabric motifs with pieced sides and corners made from half-square triangles and small squares. Twenty blocks are arranged with sashing, keeping the five center motifs in a planned sequence before an outer border encloses the top. Stacey Day designed the advanced-beginner quilt with Nocturnal Creatures fabrics by Maria Matos. The project finishes at 81 1/2 by 99 inches and uses sixteen-inch finished blocks, with a labeled layout for the individual motifs.
