I am so excited to introduce my new quilt design, McNeills.
McNeills is a simple take on the old Nine Patch and Snowball block quilt that has been around for ever and ever.
Just by changing that Snowball block from a square into a rectangle makes this design into something quite modern.
The pattern comes with instructions for 6 different sizes and is fat quarter friendly.
There is also lots of colour step by step diagrams and a colouring sheet to help plan your quilt.
BABY SIZE: 36” x 48” (92cms x 122cms)
SMALL THROW: 48” x 48” (122cms x 122cms)
LARGE THROW 48” x 60” (122cms x 153cms)
TWIN SIZE: 60” x 72” (153cms x 184cms)
QUEEN SIZE: 72” x 72” (184cms x 184cms)
KING SIZE: 84” x 84” (215cms x 215cms)

I have made a few more versions of this quilt including one using Duval by Suzy Quilts for Art Gallery fabrics.

I named this quilt in honour of my Great-great Grandmother Amy McNeill.
She was a creative and innovative woman who started quite a few businesses, one of which was a drapery store called McNeills of Port Adelaide. She was also amazing at knitting, crocheting, tatting and weaving. Amy had little time for domestic chores, spending most of her time creating. She sounds like my kind of woman!
Many years ago my Gran (Amy's daughter) gave me some of the lables from this store and I have treasured them ever since.
I am planning on attaching one of these precious lables to the back of my McNeills quilt as part of the lable.
