Plus Signs + Fat Quarter Gifts = Fun Small Quilt! from Quilting Studio Adventures

Waterfall Queen Quilt by Karen! from Busy Hands Quilts

Isn't this a beautiful quilt?!?  This is a Waterfall quilt made by Karen in blues and greens in the Queen size.  She did a beautiful job!


The Waterfall quilt pattern includes two sizes - Throw and Queen - because other sizes do not work out mathematically.  If you'd like to make the King size, I recommend adding borders, because adding another row of blocks makes a quilt over 130".
