Patches of Life
Eleanor Burns Signature Quilt Pattern
designed by Teresa Varnes
A Quilt in a Day Company
Patches of Life is made with Nine-Patch, Triangle in a Square and Triangle Pieced Square Blocks. The Triangle in a Square blocks give this quilt the illusion of curves. You can finish the outside edge with a Straight, Wave or Sawtooth Border.
There are two sizes of blocks to choose from in Patches of Life. The Queen size quilt is made from 6" finished size blocks. The Nine-Patch uses 2 1/2" strips. Use a Jelly Roll or cut your own assortment of 2 1/2" strips. Triangle Pieced Squares and Triangle in a Square patches are made from 7" and 8" strips.
The Lap quilt is made from 4 1/2" finished size blocks. The Nine-Patch uses 2" strips. You can trim off a 1/2" from each Jelly Roll strip or cut 2" strips from yardage. Triangle Pieced Squares and Triangle in a Square patches are made from 5 1/2" and 7" strips.
These patches will not take you a lifetime! Quilt with a friend and you will get the patches done in one evening. Teresa's design was inspired by the Barn Raising layout from the original Log Cabin book. She used a combination of Nine-Patch blocks with Triangle Pieced Squares and Triangle in a Square patches to give this quilt a sharp look. Instructions are included for Lap and Queen.
