Square Dance by Katy Purvis Join Katy Purvis for the first of monthly series 10in square mini quilts... Popular Patchwork kicked off 2010 with a whole new mini quilt series with some exciting new techniques to show you from month to month. The finished size of your Square Dance quilts is 10in and all you have to do is try the technique that we demonstrate each month. It may be one you love already or it may be completely new to you. The idea is to experiment and expand your horizons, discovering hidden depths of textile skills you were unaware you had. If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t matter as it is all about trying and as the size criteria is only 10in you won’t have wasted too much time.At the end of the last Square Dance project, you will have ten mini quiltlets. If you’re going to make all of them then you may wish to chose a common theme or colourway Finished size: 10 square This project is an extract from Popular Patchwork magazine first published in January 2010.
