Scrappy Anvil Quilt

Scrappy Anvil Quilt

The Anvil block is old—one of the oldest in quilt history—and it is BIG. So big, you could finish a king-size top in no time. But Jenny has other plans… She stitches stacks of half-square triangles with the easy-8 method. And those blocks become not one but THREE smaller quilts, each with a different layout. Her fabrics come from Kaffe Fasset x The Original Morris & Co for a look that is scrappy, fresh, and absolutely full of color.
