January’s Nickel Quilts

We started the New Year (by Zoom) with a million dollar idea from Pat Speth of Nickel Quilts. Stop merely collecting those 5-inch charms, and start using them to make incredible quilts! Pat showed us how to make various cuts to four patches and half-square triangles and then rearrange them into designs from her patterns and books. So. Much. Fun. (This works with layer cakes, too.) If you missed the meeting, you can still read about Pat and see her patterns at patspeth.com. While not all of her nickel quilt books are still being published, many can be found secondhand.
