Fanny's Windmill Free Quilt Pattern by Heidi Pridemore
Fanny's Windmill is a 58.5-inch square quilt featuring the Elm Cottage collection. Heidi Pridemore's pattern combines red centers with blue and khaki piecing against a tan background. Triangle, square and shaped template pieces form blocks that turn in different directions across the quilt. The layout uses six rows of six blocks, with four block arrangements controlling the placement of the contrasting fabrics. Fat quarters supply the assorted prints, alongside background, backing and binding yardage.
