Reader Reviews
This is another one of those patterns that are now coming in the wonderful resealable, plasticized packages. Why dress patterns never came this way is a good question! I love these patterns because I can pin them to my bulletin board or tape them to my design wall and never have to dig through the fabric on my cutting table to read them. The Flowers of Summer theme has four different flower types to appliqué on the quilt. Each flower "runs over" the square it is in and onto the background of the quilt. A materials list is provided right on the back of the package so you don't have to dig through the pattern to find out what you will need if you go fabric shopping. It also tells you the finished quilt size, the finished pieced block size and the finished appliqué block size. Inside you will find, clear instructions on how to make the quilt from cutting, appliquéing and assembly including the binding and quilting. There are lots of grahics to show what each step is talking about. The appliqué patterns are full size so no running to the copy store is needed. An extra is included with this quilt pattern. A Color-Palette Appliqué booklet helps you learn how to choose colors for the flowers. It also shows how to appliqué the pieces and has a color value indicator chart so you will understand what is printed on the pattern. If you are an appliqué quilter, this pattern will keep you happy and busy.
