www.fatcatpatterns.com has some angel blocks. They are listed under blocks of the month. Only 1 you get for free is the current month's block but you could print it out, and make some changes to the pattern yourself so each angel would have a little more personality of its own. There is also an angel wing pattern available right now and I think it is free too.

My oldest sister's birthday is in March, and she LOVES angels. She collects them, and I think it would be safe to say that she has over 100 of them. So I thought I'd like to make her an angel quilt. Unfortunately, all of the patterns I've been able to find online are for table runners or wall hangings. I haven't been able to find anything for making actual bed quilts. Can anyone out there help me please? :::::using the ol' puppy dog eyes treatment:::::

Thanks!!!!

No doubt others on the board would like to do the same. The only thing required from you would be where to send the package to.

http://www.laurietignerdesigns.com/s...rns/Angels.htm Laurie has beautiful applique angel patterns. I have the summer angel wall hanging which is done using a fusible, raw-edge applique technique. Each one of her four-seasons angel patterns ($30 each) are approximately 16 x 40" and with sashing and borders would make a beautiful quilt. This pattern uses Hoffman of CA 1895 batiks.

Don't forget to look now in the LQS for specialty fabric. Several years ago I found angels playing trumpets, lyres, etc. I made and sold and bartered several vests. Many folks loved them. Maybe a lovely piece of whole fabric with strips sewn across it as if you had cut it into squareed might work.
