I am so excited to make available my Pushme Pullme Block Pattern. The final block measures 15″. It is a quick, easy and versatile pattern.
The overall design came about originally with a quilt in mind, that I am currently making for a friend’s little boy.
My testers have done an amazing job, using the pattern in many ways, highlighting the versatility of the block. Check out their finishes!!
Ashley @ Wasn’t Quilt in a Day created an amazing pillow with teal and pink arrows, with a popping yellow edging.
Kristel @ Work-in-Progress Girl created a mini quilt and played around with the colors represented in the sashing to make it truly unique.
Mara @ Secretly Stitching used it as the front of a very cute play mat tote for her nephew. Extremely adorable.
Sarah @ Sarah Quilts made some great pillows for Christmas gifts for a male friend. I love the use of black and reds.
The pattern can be found on Craftsy and Etsy. I have also added it to my right-hand side menu for easy access.
