Love Links
Designed by: Running with Scissors Quilters
& Studio 180 Design
Interlocking chevrons make a fun and unique looking
quilt. A difficult looking design is made easy using flying
geese, making this a quick and easy quilt to master. With
so many options available on the Wing Clipper® I you can
make this quilt in 8 different sizes. The Love Links are
made by assembling traditional flying geese into chevron
blocks using two geese in reverse colors. Those blocks
are arranged to make links which are interlocked to
create the Love Links pattern.
The class will include step-by-step use of the Wing
Clipper I to create perfect Flying Geese.

Pre-Class Cutting:
Pre-cutting is required for this class. As a minimum you should cut out both the large & small squares in the
colored and background fabrics. These are the first four lines in the cutting charts located on the following pages.
Depending on your speed of sewing, you should be able to complete several sets of chevrons to see the
interlocking links. If time allows, go ahead and cut the remaining background so you can layout what you have
completed in class.
Fabric Yardage:
Based on 40” of useable fabric with a few cutting errors. Please plan accordingly.

*Tip: If you prefer to have your outer border a single piece of fabric, cut “A Strip” and “B Strip” first from the
Background fabric before cutting for the other units. Lynn always cuts single piece borders 1-2” longer than
specified in the pattern and then trims the border fabric to actual size after quilt center is pieced and measured.
