Alentejana Quilt Pattern by Cristina De Miranda of Ships and Violins

ALENTEJANA (ATJ) is a traditionally pieced pattern inspired by Portuguese woven blankets known as manta alentejana. 

The pattern includes four sizes: pillow, baby, throw and twin. The pillow pattern is a double-sided project and requires a 14″ zipper. (You may choose to make two single-sided pillows with an envelope backing, if you prefer.)

The pattern’s difficulty is intermediate due to the number of strip sets required.
