Bolero Quilt Pattern - Straight to the Point Series QW-08

Bolero is the Eighth in the Straight to the Point Series.

We made our sample with the Matrix and Gradations fabric collections from Benartex. Bolero has two areas of focus. One is the large block which is 9" in our sample. We used a large scale "Matrix" fabric and repeated the same fabric in the outer border. The second focus is the smaller log cabin blocks (only one round of logs). We used the Gradations fabric to create the "glowing logs". We also used "Gradations" in the inner border. Other graded fabrics or solid color fabrics will also create the secondary focus. The rest of the fabric is a selection of other fabrics in the Matrix collection that coordinate with the larger scale fabric used in the large block.

All the blocks are set as straight rows. The quilt is then cut and re-sewn into an on-point setting. The are NO diagonal rows of different sizes and NO setting triangles. Our technique makes On-Point sets a snap. See our quick demonstration page.
