Whirlpool Free Quilt Pattern by Christine Stainbrook
Whirlpool builds a 92 inch square quilt from thirty-six pieced blocks featuring Ebb & Flow fabrics by Essoldo Design. Christine Stainbrook's construction starts with small squares and rectangles, then adds successive rounds of joined rectangles around each center. The blocks are rotated in the quilt layout so their fabric arrangements change direction across the top. Two mitered borders frame the block arrangement, with the outer-border fabric also used for binding.
