The swirling skirts, foot-tapping rhythms, and joyful movement of New England contra dancing inspire this quilt pattern. Square Dance embodies the old-fashioned decorum and small-town charm of American folk dance and beautifully showcases precut 10-inch charms of your favorite fabrics. Square Dance is fast and easy to make, and cuts a rug with plenty of modern appeal. Views show Square Dance made in Denyse's Bonny  fabrics (coming 11/2023), and Shelburne Falls (out of print).

Enjoy and be sure to tag your creations #squaredancequilt!
