Re-Released Pattern : Square Dance!!!

 Today starts the share of the Re-Released Happy Quilting Patterns and Quilts!!  First up is Square Dance!!!   This has always been a favorite pattern of mine and a quick and easy one to whip up in a hurry.   But ever since I wrote the pattern, I wished that the square were more interlocked.   So here is the new (and I think quite improved)  Square Dance!!  


The  Square Dance Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version.  And it is on Special for it's release with PDF Patterns at $5.50 and the Paper Patterns are $7.00!  The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format. 


 Square Dance is super Beginner Friendly.  I know it looks a little complicated but truly, it goes together super fast with a basic block and then some pieced sashing to interlink the blocks ;)    I taught this at Garden of Quilts and we had some get the entire first row done in class, so great!!!  And the fun thing is, it can totally work for a masculine quilt, which we all know can be hard to come by designs that work for that ;)   


This version of  Square Dance is made with Autumn Afternoon by Heather Peterson for Riley Blake Designs.   I just think this pattern fits a happy fall line just perfectly, and I love Heather's bright and happy Fall!!!   This is the Lap size and I used the extra Jelly Roll Strips to do a fun scrappy binding in the browns ;)    The quilt (regardless of size) is Jelly Roll Friendly, so you can grab a roll and get cutting!!!  And what is really fun . . .doing a dark background and a light accent.  I will be sharing a version like that soon and it is so awesome!!   


I quilted this version of  Square Dance with lots of fun little wavy arches.   This is my favorite design to do with grids in the design.   And the grid has a slightly different size in a few rows of the design so I had wavy rectangles as well, so fun!!   I just love all of the awesome texture this adds to the quilt, I mean, how can you not love tiny quilting :) 



Square Dance like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)   And trust me, this is a great Go-To Baby Quilt when you need to whip up something for a new little boy or girl (but I love that the design fits a baby boy so well :)   The pattern has 6 size options :  Baby, Child, Lap, Picnic, Twin and Queen.     


And that is my new  Square Dance quilt and Pattern!!!       And I am just so happy with this new Remake!!!  It is totally the design I had in my head originally I just needed some practice in designing to figure out how to make it work ;)    I hope you love making your own Square Dance Quilts and please share them with me when you are finished!!     You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
