Lost Sheep Free Quilt Pattern by Diane Nagle
Description:
Lost Sheep places a fussy-cut Little Bo Peep scene at the center of a small quilt surrounded by several different borders. Hourglass units frame the picture first, and an outer band of paper-pieced flying geese leads toward appliquéd sheep at the corners. The design combines straight piecing, paper foundations and appliqué in one 35-by-40-inch quilt. Included templates provide the flying-geese foundation and the sheep shapes, with details for adding the sheep’s eyes.
