This charming design has fabrics that are so fresh it almost looks brand new! Made from a range of colourful printed cotton fabrics, the central square on point is made from 49 small squares, surrounded by frames of triangles, squares and diamond shapes. In the centre are four applique heart shapes. The quilting design follows the frames of patchwork on the front, and includes outlines of the heart shape, beech leaves, clamshells and zigzag motifs.
From the Collection of Julia Roberts - a collector, quiltmaker, teacher and patchwork designer.
