A musical design as old as Roman tiles!

Dive into an experience of working with colour and contrast to create this beautiful quilt of dancing circles. Mandolin is a quilt of happy mandalas which were first discovered in a huge, ancient Roman fresco, and now, shrunk down and repeated, makes the most stunning and interesting quilt.

Acrylic Templates:

Acrylic Templates are used for cutting the fabric into the right shape, with the right seam allowance. They're clear, sea green in colour which makes them easy to find among your things, and easy to see through so that you can get the fabric design in just the right spot. My acrylic templates are 3mm thick and include a 3/8" seam allowance and fabric marking holes.

This listing includes:

2" Hexagon
2" Square
2" 6 Point Diamond
2" Triangle

Build your own bundle!

I LOVE letting you choose the best way to build your EPP bundles! Perhaps you prefer to hand-piece, or you rarely use acrylic templates. That's why I sell the Pattern, Paper Pieces, and Acrylic Templates separately. Find the listings for these individual items here!
