Do you know this Dragonfly pattern name?
Found this block on pinterest - http://www.pinterest.com/pin/185773553352988597/
Followed it, google-imaged the image - I can find nothing as to the pattern name. Do you know? I'm intrigued by it and love the 'finish' the rolled edges on body and wings give. I'm pretty sure the wings are done in the same method as a Mexican Wedding Star curves, and the body is made with squares, folded - tacked halfway, rolled, sewn down - variation of the 10-minute block. What do you think? Have you any info on a pattern 'name'? What size do you think this block is? Thanks In Advance! |
I don't know it. But I can see that there are inserted additional flaps that are brought back and tacked similar to a cathedral window block process. It should eliminate the sewing of rounded curves and add dimension. It is intriguing to look at. The bulk would be something to consider while quilting though.

I don't know the name but sure am going to watch to find out...thanks for sharing.
|
Yes, I have that pattern...
http://www.southwindquilts.com/shop/...sku-SWD321.htm I have Annette Ornelas' book also (dragonfly pattern is not included). Lots of interesting designs, all on my todo list! |
I'd love to see the pattern also. Any chance you could post a pic of the pattern, PaperPrincess?
|
ah TY TY PPrincess! I had actually looked at that pattern a few months back but didn't know it was this technique! I appreciate it!
|
She posted the website. :)
|
Very cute and looks easy! A square is folded in half to form a triangle and sewn over the backing square/rectangles. The bias edge of the triangles if then rolled back and top stitched.
|
Thank you for that information on those patterns! I saw a couple others that looked so cute...
|
Tartan - you are so smart! Going to have to try this.
|
Same pattern designer that has Mexican Star
|
I have the book by Annette Ornelas called "Peeled-Back Patchwork: Curves Without Piecing. It shows the techniques just like the dragonfly you found. This book has a dragonfly in it, but somewhat different than this one.

I have the Peeled-Back Patchwork book too, and made the Enchanted Rose Garden in a class from the LQS. I'm not a big fan of that method. It does produce curves in the quilt, but I didn't care for the thicker areas in the quilt where fabric is doubled over so much and then stitched down. I might use it for a wall hanging, but probably not for another lap or bed quilt.

I bought this pattern and it is on my "to make someday" list. I saw it at a local Quilt show made into a quilt. They used blue and purple and green and, burgundy batiks for the dragonflies and an ivory for the backgroud. It is one of the my favorite quilts I have ever seen.

I have it made my oldest daughter one , she collects dragon fly things. Have seen it in many pattern books. not hard to make.
|
That is very pretty. Look so hard to do though.
|
This looks to me like reverse applique. Here is a link on how to do it:

Tarten has a thread here on QB "Main" forum called "Black or Cream?" Check out her beautiful dragonfly blocks.

Reminds me of the cathedral windows/Mexican Stars techniques I've seen and done for Mexican Stars.
