Ballet Quilt
Millefiori quilts are a type of pattern design popularized by Willyne Hammerstein in her series of books, titled Millefiori Quilts 1, 2, and 3.
Her patterns are extremely recognizable due to their unique style that consists of minimal repetition, yet, repetitive use of the same shapes to create numerous intricate blocks.
These blocks often referred to ‘rosettes’ or ‘stars’, come in various shapes and are combined to create an entire quilt.
The first book contains 19 patterns and the second book contains 18 patterns and the 3rd contains 17 patterns.
All of the patterns in the books are Millefiori patterns which consist of similar ‘rosette’ designs.
What’s In The Books?
Each pattern comes with directions on how to piece together the individual blocks and rows, fabric requirements, required supplies, and numerous photos showing each step.
There are plenty of pictures in each book if you are wondering!
There is no ‘correct’ way to make a Millefiori Quilt.
Technically, there are 3 ways to make a Millefiori quilt; machine, English Paper Piecing, or hand piecing.
All 3 variations will produce the same end result, but all of the Millefiori patterns were designed to be English Paper Pieced or hand pieced.
