Joie de Vivre Willyne Hammerstein PDF

Description

Joie de Vivre is one of the star quilts in Millefiori Quilts 4 by Willyne Hammerstein, published by Quiltmania.

IMPORTANT  I have not created a shape collection for Joie de Vivre but the shapes are available. TWO shape collections are required.

Please order Fiesta Gitana 150% and Storm At Sea 6.75-inch (slightly larger than the original as shown below) OR Fiesta Gitana 100% and Storm At Sea 4.5 inch (slightly smaller than the original.

Inklingo Shapes for Joie de Vivre

Willyne’s lovely design only uses three popular shapes, so you might already have the two shape collections you need.

These are very slightly smaller than the original (above).

OR slightly larger than the original.

(In the original quilt, the long measurement on the kite is 2 inches.)

Detailed diagrams for assembling the quilt top are in Willyne’s Millefiori Quilts 4 book (the fourth book).

Continuous stitching and “circling the intersection” by hand are perfect for this design.

The brilliance of Willyne’s design is in the way she used the shapes to create interlocking designs. She teaches hand piecing with a running stitch. It is NOT necessary to use EPP unless that is the method you prefer.

It is much easier to print the shapes on fabric with Inklingo and sew with a running stitch.

On the other hand, there are 8 Good Ways to Use Inklingo for EPP if that is the method you prefer.

Love the lines. Quilt more!
