The ‘Allie Owl’ quilt pattern by Elizabeth Hartman.
These bold and graphic owls will make a big impact in your next quilt! Make a baby quilt with a single owl block, or stitch up a whole nest for a striking lap or twin bed quilt.
This pattern includes instructions for a 32″ x 44′ Baby Quilt, a 52″ x 66″ Lap Quilt, and a 68″ x 92″ Twin Quilt. All of the projects are made using 16″ x 28″ Allie Owl blocks.
Allie Owl is made using conventional piecing methods. No paper piecing or templates are used. You will just need your favorite fabric marking tool. A complete list of the pieces needed for each block is also included, so it’s easy to use scraps and/or make blocks to use in other projects.
Please refer to the pattern images for a materials list and and diagrams of the quilts. This quilt was made using Robert Kaufman’s Kona Cotton Solids and a list of the colors used is included in the pattern.
