I have a niece that love peace signs. So I’m always on the look out for that image on fabric.
And when the Fat Quarter shop published this free pattern, Timber, I knew it was the right one!
I didn’t want the peace fabric all over the place, and this one I love the interlocking that happens.
The Peace Sign fabric is OLD.. and I’ve had it for years waiting until she graduated from college to use it. I bought a ton of it to be sure I had enough, maybe 8 yards.
To create the collection of fabrics to use I pulled out all my purple and green to use with solids and lights. Very controlled scrappy.
Pink Paw Design studio quilted it with an all over peace sign design
I LOVE it!
My goal was to use only the Peace sign fabric on the back and she LOVED it!!!
So thrilled she did, working in forestry she love green, purple is her favorite color and she wears a peace sign.
The Fat Quarter shop video will walk you through making the block
It’s squares and rectangle.. love that right?
I used the Peace sign for the binding too!

Thank you so much for the great pattern. My husband and I are both retired from forestry and this is perfect.
I’m glad to hear of another young lady going into the foretry. My very dear friend (addopted daughter is the director in Montana. So tell you niece congrates. Maybe I should make a smaller on for my friend. When she lived across the street from me I taught her how to quilt..As well as her young son, that is now in the Mariens….He said he used his skills to help other soldiers sew on their patches…..

I grew up in the 60s so love the peace sign. Reminds me of the good old days. Thanks for the quilt pattern. Green and purple are two of my favorite color combos.

Really like the colors and mixing batik with cotton. The peace sign quilting puts it over the top. Nice.
Love when you find the pattern that matches the fabric you have in mind. This quilt pattern would work with a lot of different styles, and, yes, to the Sunday Drive fabric!
