Posted on May 13, 2022 by TK HarrisonMay 8, 2022

There’s a “Wild Irish Rose” in the Hearts of Everyone!

“Wild Irish Rose”
Designed by TK Harrison (that’s me 🙂 )

The finished quilt size is 70″ square.
The blocks are 15″ finished & 15 1/2″ unfinished.

It’s Glowing & Bold! Waiting to Shine & Brighten your Days! This is a traditionally pieced quilt that sews quickly because of the size of the quilt blocks!

There are only two blocks to sew together to make this quilt:

: Wild Irish Rose

: Wild Irish Rose Variation

It’s got a little bit of everything in it: Square in a Squares, Flying Geese, Half-Square Triangles & Quarter-Square Triangles. But don’t let that intimidate you! If you chain piece it it’ll sew together faster than ever!

Friday Funday! It’s all about “Colorful Wishes” at Quilt Dash this Month!

Posted on October 15, 2021 by TK HarrisonOctober 13, 2021

This is a big block quilt! Which means that it’ll create a large quilt top quickly!

“Colorful Wishes”
Designed by TK Harrison (that’s me 🙂 )!
This traditionally pieced quilt measures 77″ x 96” when finished.
The quilt blocks are 16” finished & 16 1/2” unfinished.

All of the quilt blocks are the same ones. They just have different colored fabrics in them! That makes them perfect for anyone who’s dreaming of a quilt with a
“Colorful Wishes” rainbow on it!:

: "Colorful Wishes"
Block #1 – Wishing Pinwheel

: "Colorful Wishes"
Block #2 – Wishing Pinwheel

: "Colorful Wishes"
Block #3 – Wishing Pinwheel

: "Colorful Wishes"
Block #4 – Wishing Pinwheel

You can easily make less “Wishing Pinwheel” quilt blocks if you’d like to make a smaller quilt! Or just make a single quilt block & you have yourself a table topper! The sky’s the limit when you’re sewing a big block quilt together!

This could be a scrappy quilt, too! Unless you’re guarding your stash & don’t want to part with it 🙂 !
