Frond Quilt Pattern - Carolyn Friedlander
Frond is an adventure of a quilt! Each round of the design invites new excitement to be explored through the colors and fabrics you use.
The Frond project can be pieced using Foundation Paper Piecing or Template Piecing (and optional Long Leaf Templates) It's your choice! Both technical approaches are covered in the pattern.
Project Sizes
- Wall 30" x 36"
- Baby 42" x 48"
- Throw 66" x 72"
-
Queen 90" x 96"
Fabric:
Fat Quarter (18" x 21") or yardage friendly.
Featured project is made using Carolyn Friedlander's Languid collection.
Techniques/Skill Level:
Skill level increases with the size of the project. Using Foundation Paper Piecing and/or making one of the smaller size options can lessen the challenge.
Tip: Foundation Paper Piecing may be easier for beginners to create a professional looking result, and Template Piecing may be a bit faster but relies on an accurate seam allowance and even pressing. This project is assembled from the center out, which means any seam allowance discrepancy can compound. Larger size options can therefore be trickier to assemble.
Instructions give you two options for how to piece the project. You can use Foundation Paper Piecing or Template Piecing. Not sure which technique you prefer? Read through each section and make a couple of test blocks to see which works best for you!
Want the templates? Frond works with the Long Leaf Acrylic Templates that can be found here.
Pattern Includes:
Four project sizes, how-to instructions highlighting two technical approaches.
