Primrose Path
This sweet quilt combines two of Sharon’s creative loves, English paper piecing and fussy cutting. The scale of the prints in the recently-released fabric range, Bon Voyage by Tilda, work nicely to showcase both the Tenderness and the Indulgence Blooms.
Sharon’s decision to add the pink pathways brings a lovely palette to the overall finish.
This versatile pattern can easily adapt to a smaller throw-sized or upsized for a larger quilt.
Finished size: 138cm x 121cm (54½in x 47¾in)
