Pattern: Show and Tell

Celebrate the joy of finishing a project with the Show and Tell quilt pattern by Elizabeth Hartman. This delightful design features a forest of makers—foxes, bunnies, deer, and bears—each proudly displaying a different mini quilt. It’s a whimsical, modern patchwork project that captures the heart of the quilting community and makes for a stunning conversation piece in any room.

This pattern is a traditional patchwork project, meaning there is no paper piecing or templates involved. While the design is beginner-friendly in concept, the small pieces and detailed animal features make it a rewarding project for the intermediate quilter. Designed to be Fat Quarter and Fat Eighth friendly, it's the perfect excuse to dive into your favorite fabric bundles.
