Design Source - Description | This pattern was on a magazine cover in the early 70's. Based on the description of the quilt, and the references to the size of the blocks, I adapted the block for my quilt, and chose a different color scheme. This project was years in progress, and went through several moves, before being completed during my second pregnancy in 1981. Knowing absolutely nothing about quilting, I chose poly-cotton blend fabric. The size of my bed increased from full to queen during this time frame, and I used the backing fabric to make the solid blocks, in order to increase the size of the quilt. |
