Mermaids Quilt Pattern - Elizabeth Hartman

Mermaids Quilt Pattern - Elizabeth Hartman

EH082

These sweet mermaids are made using conventional patchwork techniques. 

In the cover sample, the solid fabrics (background and mermaid face, hair, and detail fabrics) are Moda's Bella Solids ( I can match these to corresponding Kona Solids). The Tail Fabrics are Rashida Coleman's Speckled collection for Ruby Star Society. The pattern includes a detailed fabric chart listing the fabrics I used.

The Fish Fabric used in my sample is Bella Green Olive, which has been discontinued. Bella Pesto is a good substitute.

The second sample ( 3rd Photo) was made using the following Robert Kaufman fabrics. The Tail and Fish Fabrics are assorted prints from my Paintbox print collection. The rest of the quilt was made with the following Kona Solids:

• Background = Sage
• Face and Hair Fabrics = Lingerie/Ochre, Tan/Cedar, Latte/Roasted Pecan, Biscuit, Coffee, and Earth/Chestnut
• Mouth Fabric = Punch
• Eye Fabric = Espresso

The pattern includes instructions for a 36" x 42" Small Quilt and a 66" x 78" Large Quilt.

The 36" x 42" Small Quilt includes 2 mermaid blocks.The 66" x 78" Large Quilt includes 10 mermaid blocks.

The pattern includes a diagram and charts showing all of the pieces needed to make each block. You can use these as a reference while making the pattern projects, or as a guide for making individual blocks and scrappy projects.

Mermaids quilts include small pieces. The pattern will walk you through the process of sewing them with both diagrams and written instructions for each step.
