French Garden
A pre-printed center panel is used from Stonehenge Renaissance fabrics by Northcott.
The surrounding border is pieced to represent a garden fence of lattice. Step by step
piecing instructions are for an advanced beginner or intermediate quilter. If you prefer a
different color scheme you can use a solid fabric that is to pretty to cut up in the center
and let it stand out with some special quilting. I made a practice quilt in batiks and it
looked stunning. Goes together quick and easy. Quilt measures 49" x 67" and would
make a great lap quilt.
