Mistletoe Pieced Quilt Pattern

CLASSIFICATION: Quilt Pattern (Blueprint) DIMENSIONS: 76" x 76" (Finished Assembly) COMPONENTS: Ohio Star | Feathered Star | Appliqué ROLE: The Holiday Heirloom

A store-bought blanket is a commodity. A quilt is an inheritance. This document provides the architectural plans for the former.

The 'Mistletoe' is a complex textile assembly that rejects the simplicity of the "weekend project." Finishing at a grand 76 inches square, it combines the rigid geometry of Ohio Star and Feathered Star blocks with the organic, fluid lines of an elegant appliquéd border.

It is a study in precision. You act as the General Contractor, sourcing the raw materials (fabric) to your specific taste. We provide the engineering required to construct a masterpiece that will outlast every other gift under the tree.

THE CURATOR'S NOTES

• The Feathered Star: Critical. This block is the "Black Diamond" of quilting. It requires precise points and careful piecing. It is a flex of your technical ability.
• The Scale: At 76" x 76", this is a substantial surface area. It commands a queen bed or acts as a massive, heavy throw for the family room.
• The Border Logic: The appliquéd border serves as a softening agent, breaking up the sharp angles of the star blocks with botanical curves. It balances the composition.
• The Timeline: This is not a quick fix. This is a legacy project. Start it now, and you might finish it by Christmas—if you work with the discipline of a guild master.''
