A medallion quilt with a large central diamond panel, (the original features a printed Chintz panel featuring birds and a basket of flowers, this could be lovely reworked as an applique design to the makers choosing). Surrounded by smaller paper pieced diamonds joined by cream and navy dot sashing and a deep border of smaller sized paper pieced diamonds.
Quilt Size: 71” x 89”
The 5-page pattern includes step-by-step instructions and diagrams to follow as well as fabric cutting instructions and a fabric swatch key with a numbered quilt layout to follow as a guide.
