Peppermint Swirl Quilt Pattern - PAPER
This sweet winter quilt is made using applique on a large piece of background fabric. Though there is quite a bit of applique, it goes together quickly since each whole peppermint can be sewn without breaking thread.
When planning this quilt, I decided on peppermints because I wanted a simple, classic quilt that didn't scream Christmas. The bold, graphic nature of the design is great for using solids or featuring your favorite prints.
