Sweet Red and White

What a great example of taking a commercial pattern and giving yourself to it.  Luscious reds and white combine with cotton, silk, velvet and wool - pieced to perfection! 
Sweet!

  2. You don't need a commercial pattern to do this kind of thing - working totally template free is very liberating - aka 'improvisational piecing', contact me if you want basic 'how to' instructions emailed - they're free.

  3. Hi Alison! Yes, I know that but I'm identifying here how this one was made. Eileen used a pattern from "Vivacious Curvy Quilts" by Maxine Rosenthal. As for myself, I've never used a pattern in my life! But maybe some of my blog readers will want to contact you at alison.schwabe@gmail.com
