This quilt was inspired by a vintage beauty that my quilty friend Susan fell in love with. The challenge to get the block to feel like a circle but be easily pieced with basic piecing techniques was a design challenge that I really enjoyed. The outcome is such a beautiful two color quilt! Of course we are equally smitten by it in a striking patriotic design or a scrappy charm pack pillow too. So many choices that I do believe we will have to make more than one! All three versions available in the pattern.
QUILT SIZE: 68" x 68". Pillow is 24" square.
