The pattern can be printed at home on standard printer paper (8 ½” by 11”) but is best viewed on a device to take advantage of modern digital elements:
Links to how-to videos (great for beginners!) and useful tools
“Jump to” buttons in PDF to avoid endless scrolling on screens
Link to EXACT yardage if you’re shopping your stash
Everything for just YOUR size on a single page - cutting instructions, labels, swatch area (minimize printing!)
Black Balsam, one of four patterns in the Land of the Sky collection, is inspired by pinwheels and windmills, reminiscent of the feed sack quilts of the 1800’s. This is a beginner-friendly pattern created using half-square triangles, squares, and an easy-to-make method for split quarter-square triangles that make up the pinwheels. Black Balsam Knob, near Milepost 420 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, is a popular spot due to its easy trail hike to a grassy bald summit with spectacular views and the promise of a stunning show of stars.
Skill Level: Confident Beginner
The Black Balsam pattern has been through technical editing and was tested by beginner and experienced quilters. The pattern includes easy step-by-step instructions, clear diagrams, links to technique videos, a coloring page, printable labels, and more.
