BQ2 13 ½” block 54" x 67 ½"

a Christmas quilt, BQ2 is a great pattern to use as it goes together
so quickly. As you can see, the Poinsettia fabric looks good
with either red or green to accent it.
Using novelty prints in the 9” block size (6” center)
makes a fun wall piece. Beverly Dorsey made this fun piece and
added an outside border and slightly wider than usual striped
binding.
9” blocks featuring flowers, multiple lights, 2 different
frame colors which she also used as inner borders and 2 different
borders complete this quilt by Cheryl Forsythe. |
