This pattern was originally designed for a nurse, but my kids named it Doctor Bear.
It has so many possibilities! Color Change, we all know scrubs can be just about any color, and what to do in the balloon. You can make this as a get well blanket or recovery lap quilt. Or as small wall decor for a Doctor office. Personalize the balloon with a name.
The pattern is scaled to 3 sizes: 24x28 wall hanging, 36x42 baby quilt, and 48x56 lap size. Borders will give you even more size options.
A great pattern for beginning quilters, instructions include: fabric yardage, cutting instructions, triangle tips, sewing instructions, and basic finishing instruction.
The pattern first uses a chart with the given number of strips to be cut for each color. Second, it has a set of charts with piece lengths to be cut from those strips and labeled. Next you sew straight 1/4 inch seams following a full page color labeled picture of the quilt top.
The shaping is done with quick corner triangles, or the “snowball method” where a sew line is drawn corner to corner on a square and place on top of another square or larger rectangle.
Once the payment has been processed you can download and print the PDF files of the pattern and cover.
