Downloadable Version of our Thistles Pattern
I am completely in love with this quilt. Just smitten. So much so that before we even finished the first sample, I was already planning my second version with all of my favorite stash prints. It's not necessarily something you want to tackle all in one sitting but if you divide this quilt up into sections, I think you will enjoy the process of making it as much as we did! The finished quilt is a masterpiece, but surprisingly all of the smaller sections are very simple blocks - mostly flying geese and the traditional Weathervane block.
