A Story in Every Block

The Windy Days Quilt is constructed using just one large block, measuring 21″ x 25½” unfinished (53.3cm x 64.8cm). Made in three different colorways, the block features a charming girl standing in the wind with her scarf and hair playfully blown to the side. The quilt’s soft narrative continues with drifting leaves and a stylized tree, making each block feel like a frame from a storybook.

The blocks are set apart with sashing, giving each design room to breathe and adding structure to the overall quilt layout.
