Whale Sighting Free Quilt Pattern by Natalie Crabtree
Whale Sighting Free Quilt Pattern by Natalie Crabtree
Description:
Whale Sighting combines a pieced ocean with an appliquéd whale in a 63 x 77-inch quilt designed by Natalie Crabtree. Whale Tales fabrics by Katherine Quinn form six rows of curved blocks, with fabric placement continuing the clamshell shapes between rows. A separate upper background holds the whale’s body, tail and water drops. The design includes curved-piecing templates and raw-edge fusible-appliqué shapes, with the whale positioned to appear above the waves.
