About this pattern

This lovely quilt design is always popular because of its impressive 3D effect. The attic window block is so called because that’s exactly what it looks like – many quilters use scenery fabric for the squares to enhance this look. Instead, we’ve added appliqué motifs for that extra something special – swap the reindeer for stars or flowers for a year-round quilt. We’ve used Tilda’s Tiny Treasures range, as the sweet blues and pinks are ideal for a cot quilt. If you’d prefer a larger version for your bed or sofa, simply add more blocks!

SEW AN ATTIC WINDOW BLOCK

Note: Use a 5mm seam allowance unless otherwise stated.

1 Cut a 10cm square of cream printed fabric, then trim a 6cm wide slanted strip, measuring 10cm on one side and 15cm on the other, from both blue and pink print. Stitch the shorter side of the blue strip to the bottom edge of the square with right sides facing. Stop sewing 5mm from the strip’s slanted end.

2 Sew the pink strip to the left-hand side of the square in the same way, stopping 5mm from the slanted edge. With right sides facing, fold the square of fabric in half diagonally so the two slanted ends lay on top of each other. Stitch along the slanted edge in line with the fold. Open out and press.
