Vintage Breeze

Three old fashioned prints give this quilt an antique look. I chose a lovely medium floral, a simple swirling vine, and a geometric design for the fabrics. The rose print contrasts nicely with chocolate brown and dusty coral.

Larger pieces in these 16” blocks make quick work. Nine blocks later and I was done. Getting perfect points is easy with Blue Wren's dies and a precise quarter inch seam. The back is pieced using a large rose print in the same shades with a cream and coral mini print.



For quilting I kept it simple with rows of scallops lined up 2” apart. Vintage Breeze finished at 48” square. 


Back to the sewing room to cut out more quilts...I got a shipment of new dies from Australia on Friday!
