My Dream Quilt - Got instructions for this quilt from a friend who had taken a class at a quilt shop. She was told the pattern hadn't been published and I've never seen it anywhere. The technique is similar to mirror image bargello, only in individual blocks. Each set of 8 coordinated fabrics makes two blocks, a light center and a dark center. It takes lots of shopping to find 8 coordinated fabrics ranging from very light to very dark in 12 different colors. But who's complaining about fabric shopping? I designed the hand appliqued border using three simple flower shapes and lots of colors, just like in the quilt center.
