ERIK-THE-RED Patchwork pattern by Ann F Stonehouse

My design is based on the Swedish folk art motif of the Dalarna horse, traditionally carved from wood and highly painted. I was given one as a small child by my godmother – he was named Erik-the-Red, and has been my much-loved companion ever since. It's a design I loved adapting for my own quiltmaking.
This pattern-kit gives you step-by-step instructions to make a patchwork and appliqué panel, which you can then quilt and make up into a cushion cover, or multiply and join to make a quilt top. There's advice inside on choosing your fabric, too – I worked my cushion panels in classic Scandi red and white fabrics for contrast, and my quilt in shades of blue and grey, but you could do anything that pleases you!

This pattern-kit contains:
• full size pattern for appliqué design
• step-by-step instructions to make up the appliqué and patchwork panel, finished size 16½ x 16½ inches
• ½yd Bondaweb fusible backing (enough for two Erik panels)
• advice on how to make up cushions and quilts with your Erik squares
