Half-square triangles have a way of creating movement you don't expect until the blocks come together. In this pattern, that movement takes shape as a whirl - like air catching color and spinning it across the quilt top.
Pattern Overview
Whirl of Freedom is a beginner-friendly half-square triangle throw quilt, pieced in Quilt of Valor sizing so it's ready for gifting or donation the moment you finish binding it. I designed this one because I love how the movement of the secondary patterns reminds me of a whirl of air - the finished top reads as intricate, but it's built from simple, repeatable units the whole way through. Fabric shown: The Flower Fields by Art Gallery Fabrics.
