I'm Owl Ears Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
I'm Owl Ears frames a large center rectangle with a sequence of narrow borders, half-square triangles and an outer print border. Wendy Sheppard's beginner quilt measures 39 by 42 inches and features Jaye Bird fabrics by Kori Turner Goodhart for Olive Grace Studios. Several fat eighths supply the contrasting triangles, while yardage provides the center and surrounding strips. The arrangement grows outward from the center, with the triangle units assembled into rows and columns before they are attached.
