Well rounded and to the point–my Hesperides Quilt pattern is a play on opposites–both in terms of shape and weight. While playing with my Euclid fabric collection on Essex (a linen cotton blend fabric), the weight had me thinking a lot about transparency and opacity. I loved pairing the meaty linen with Robert Kaufman’s oh-so-delicate lawn and quilting cotton. This project is the perfect opportunity to perfect your points and explore a variety of fabrics.
+ Part of the Slow Sewing Studio, this appliqué pattern offers plenty of practice with points in appliqué.
+ Featured fabrics are from my Euclid collection with Robert Kaufman.
