Ribbons Around A Pole
This may be the most unique quilt I’ve come across in recent memory. Not only is it gorgeous and something you’ve never seen before, but it may be one of the easiest quilts you’ll ever make.
Rob Appell from Man Sewing stitches together this super cute quilt, inspired by ribbons wrapping around a pole. With 4 fabrics, you can create the most gorgeous optical illusion.
Believe it or not, this whole quilt is made up of entirely half square triangles. It’s all in the arrangement and choice of colors that makes it look as incredible as it does.
How It’s Done
To get started with this, you may want to print out this free pattern from Rob. It’ll help lay everything out for you when you’re sewing everything.
You’ll need 4 different fabrics: 2 ribbon colors, a pole color, and a background color. Your finished quilt top will be all identical half square triangles.
There will be 4 different types of half square triangles that create this ribbon around a pole effect. It really is all in the arrangement and it couldn’t be any easier if you tried.
