$5 Pattern of the Month - Double Dutch!!!

It's a new month and a new $5 Pattern of the Month here at Happy Quilting!!! And November is all about Double Dutch. And it is just $5 all month long!!!

The Double Dutch Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version and both versions will be marked down to $5.00 for the month November. This is such a fun quilt to make and is a great technique builder for No Waste Flying Geese. It is rated Beginner and is Fat Eighth or Fat Quarter friendly, depending on what size quilt you make.

Double Dutch has 5 size options. The Baby and Lap size quilts use a 12 1/2" block and Fat Eighths. The Picnic, Twin, and Queen/King size quilts use a 20" block and Fat Quarters.

And like I said, this one is all about building your technique on No Waste Flying Geese. Each block has 8 flying geese in it, so you make 2 sets of No Waste Flying Geese for each block. So lots of practice on getting them to perfection. And because that is pretty much the block, once your units are made, the quilt comes together really quickly!

And while the cover quilt shows each block with match fabrics, you can totally mix and match your fabrics as well. Both designs create a stunning finish. And it is hard to tell the difference in the pictures, but this shows a 12 1/2" block vs a 20" block. It is just nice when you are making a bigger quilt not to have to make so many blocks ;)

Truly, this is just a super versatile design that would look great in any fabrics!! And the offset sashing of the blocks makes it look like these windmills are blowing in the breeze. Just so fun :)

And that is my $5.00 Pattern of the Month!!! November 2025 is all about the Double Dutch Pattern!!! You are going to have so much fun making this quilt ;) And of course, if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to reach out to me ;) And when you make your Double Dtuch Quilts I would love to see them!!!
