Patron Emerson de Laura Heine

The full-sized pattern pieces made tracing and cutting so much easier than other collage patterns I’ve tried. The step-by-step color instructions are incredibly clear, which is perfect for a project of this size. I’m thrilled with how my Emerson puppy turned out.

I've been quilting for a few years, and this Emerson puppy pattern finally convinced me to try collage. The full-sized pattern pieces saved me so much tracing time, and the instructions are genuinely clear. My first collage quilt top came together in an afternoon.

The full-size pattern is a huge plus—no squinting at tiny diagrams or trying to scale things up myself. For my first collage quilt, the color instructions broke everything down in a way that just clicked, and the finished piece came out exactly like the picture.
