Pink Ribbon Quilt Pattern For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

by

Breast Cancer Awareness month is an important month in our household. My mother battled, fought and survived Breast cancer around 15 years ago now. It was her routine checkup that discovered a very large growth and some other heart conditions before surgery. If they hadn’t found one thing they wouldn’t have found the other.

You will need their fabric to complete this design as it is based on pre-printed themed fabrics. You can learn more and see download the free pdf for this quilt pattern via BearCreekQuiltingCompany.

Free GO! Diamonds in the Rough Wall Hanging Pattern

The GO! Diamonds in the Rough Wall Hanging Pattern shows just how dramatically clever colour placement can transform a traditional quilt block.

Designed by Lissa LaGreca of Lovingly Lissa, this 30-inch square wall hanging uses the GO! Double Star 10-inch Finished Die. Although the entire project is cut using one Block on Board die, the finished layout creates a sparkling diamond design that looks wonderfully intricate.

I love the potential for experimenting with colour. Choose rich jewel tones for a gemstone effect, bright modern fabrics for something bold or soft neutrals for a more understated wall hanging.

The pattern is currently available as a free download for AccuQuilt members. You will need a free account and the GO! Double Star 10-inch Finished Die to make it.

This is a lovely smaller project for trying the Double Star die without committing to a full quilt. At 30 x 30 inches, it is large enough to make an impact but still manageable to piece, quilt and display.
