English Manor - Paperback

by Ebony Love (Author)

English Manor, a 72" x 92" finished quilt, features the blocks and quilts from the #1 quilter's event for fans of the show, Downton Abbey. Over 1,200 quilters worldwide participated in this event online, and a copy of this pattern is the perfect way to own a piece of the excitement. The 121-page pattern is written for rotary cutting, but is notated for die-cutting using our trademark Equivalent Die Notation (EDeN) System. This special edition pattern features each of the 7 block sets used in the mystery quilt, and presented in our "Quilt Your Own Story" format. For those who choose to make the mystery quilt, now revealed, fabric requirements and a cutting chart are provided in three colorways, based on the original character quilts designed especially for the quilt along. Photos of the finished quilts are presented within the pages, along with the block stories, fun facts from the quilt along, and helpful tips & tricks to help you make your own quilt with confidence. Plus, there's a bonus backing pattern in the magazine, Egyptology, which is not available separately.
