The swirling skirts, foot-tapping rhythms, and joyful movement of New England contra dancing inspired this quilt pattern. Square Dance embodies the old-fashioned decorum and small-town charm of American folk dance and beautifully showcases precut 10-inch charms of your favorite fabrics.
Square Dance is fast and easy to make, and cuts a rug with plenty of modern appeal.
Views show Square Dance made in Denyse's (out of print) Shelburne Falls and Bonny fabrics. Uses 30 ten-inch charms.
This is a free digital-only pattern and includes easy-to-follow instructions with diagrams and measurements to make Square Dance in twin size.
To learn more about contra and other kinds of American folk and social dance – and to see why Denyse loves it – check out these videos, here, here and here.
