Many of the fabrics used in this quilt top are from Amy Butler’s Lotus collection with a splash of Moda’s 3 Sisters thrown in for visual interest. The goal with this quilt design is to select the right mix of fabrics so that the color and pattern transition from the middle of the quilt out to the edges. At first glance the quilt appears to be whole cloth—and that’s just the point!

This quilt is deceptively simple to piece. The top consists of sweet little 9-patch blocks that alternate with solid squares—and then everything is set on point. The binding matches the last fabric and forms what I like to call the “infinity pool” edge. The result is that the eye travels out from the center with “just the right color” making the transition appear seamless.

The pattern for this quilt is available in the book “Traditions with a Twist” by Blanche Young and featured on the cover ($24.95.)

Kit includes approximately 10 yards of fabric (total) for the quilt top and matching binding. Several of these fabrics are now out of print so this is a limited edition kit.
