A striking yet simple quilt from Janet Clare, made with machine piecing and appliqué. Janet uses her free-machine drawing technique to add detail to the gulls, but any appliqué method works.

Designer: Janet Clare

The paper pattern includes full-size templates and colour illustrations.

What you'll need:

• One 10" Layer Cake (42 x 10" squares), or 25 dark and 17 pale 10" squares


• 1m Bondaweb


• ½m dark fabric for binding


• 3.5m backing fabric


• Wadding

It looks wonderful in Janet's Longshore range, and we also have a Great Gulls kit.

Kits and threads available – we'll happily put together a kit for you in any colourway you choose. Just ask! It's often cheaper, as you may not need a fat quarter of every fabric.
