Mini Coos A Highland Cow Quilt Pattern

The Mini Coos Quilt Pattern offers a fresh interpretation of the popular Cattle Call design, featuring smaller-scale Highland cows arranged in a 521⁄2in x 621⁄2in quilt.
The layout includes two coo block styles:
Front-facing coos (101⁄2in x 15in finished), looking in two directions
Side coo (15in x 15in finished)
Each cow can be made with or without the optional Scottish tam, allowing you to customise the personality of your quilt.
The pattern also includes two thistle block designs for the borders, reinforcing the Scottish theme.
Constructed using traditional piecing techniques, this quilt does not require paper piecing.
It does, however, involve precision piecing with smaller pieces, straight seams, and careful point matching.
The result is crisp, expressive blocks with strong visual character.
The coo blocks are versatile and can be adapted for smaller projects such as tote bags, table runners, jackets, or feature panels.
The booklet is 34 pages, printed in full colour and saddle-stitched with a soft laminate cover.
