Breaking Clouds
Pull out your special scraps to make the Breaking Clouds quilt. In this pattern you will learn a variety of different techniques to sew half-square triangles (HSTs), which is what the stars are made of. Sew multiple stars as shown in the pattern listing, or use the bonus pattern to make a single extra large block.

Tilt-a-Whirl
Classic pinwheels get a modern twist with a special frame in the Tilt-a-Whirl pattern by Amy Gibson, instructor of the new Craftsy class The Twisted Irish Chain. Each block is paper pieced for accuracy and requires ⅛ yard or a Fat Quarter. A helpful tutorial and detailed instructions are included to help out those who are new to paper piecing.

Swift Wreath
Use large half-square triangles and Flying Geese blocks to create a stunning quilt. The Swift Wreath pattern is a quick project that measures 32” x 32”, and it would look perfect hanging as wall decor. If you’d rather have a throw size quilt, simply add a border or two!
Flowers Square
The new couple would surely love this colorful quilt. Each finished flower block measures 5″, so the quilt top can be created by using up the tiniest pieces of scraps. The quilt measures 51” x 66”, the perfect size for a throw.
