Irish Thistle – DISCONTINUED

THIS PATTERN HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

This pattern is a Collector’s Club Design, which means a limited number of patterns were published to celebrate the release of a Judy and Judel Niemeyer Tonga Batik Mini Collection that was used to make the quilt on the cover sheet. Generally, the number of patterns published is 500. Replacement papers are not available as these patterns are only published in limited numbers. When the patterns are sold out, they will not be re-printed. Get your copy today!

Irish Thistle is constructed using 2 distinct pattern groups. The first group is comprised of (4) 16” squares referred to as Group A. Group B consists of (4) border blocks.

The pattern was designed by Judel and Judy Niemeyer in Quiltster, using blocks designed by Judy and Bradley Niemeyer. The blocks and pattern require paper piecing and traditional piecing skills and are available through Quiltworx.com.

There are many ways to expand your Quiltworx designs into larger sizes with compatible border packages by clicking the Buy Now button.

The following information explains ways to expand your quilt.

The Irish Thistle blocks are available as part of a mixer series called the Courtyard Fountain Mixer. This means there are other blocks the same size as those in this quilt that have been designed by Quiltworx.com and use paper piecing techniques as well.
