BESPOKE BLOOMS** {84" x 98-1/2"} Kathi
Dineen
Visit the villages of England with Robyn Pandolph’s new BOM
appliqué quilt,
Bespoke Blooms, in soft pastels. She’ll
take us to English castles and gardens with 12 beautiful blocks from
her new fabric collection,
Somerset Cottage. The two pictures
show the first block with two
different background fabrics: an off-white on the left, and a floral
tone-on-tone beige on the right. (The block on the right is only
partially completed.) In both cases, the blocks
are displayed on the fabric that will be used for the sashing. We shall
do one block a month. The blocks can be hand or machine appliqued. The
first block is very easy; you develop new skills as you progress
through the program.
