Catenary quilt pattern by Carolyn Friedlander

Catenary refers to a certain type of arch that is often used in buildings and bridges--my favorite example being the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. The design for this project is inspired by that graceful and graphic shape. Beginner-friendly, needle-turn appliqué (Can use another appliqué technique if desired.), basic piecing.  Finished sizes: 66″ x h. 77 1/2″ (Throw), 33 1/2" x 28" (Wall), 85 1/2" x 94" (Full/Queen)
