"Road Less Traveled" Pattern, SKU #606 $11.96
42" x 57" Finished Size

Pattern Description:
This contemporary earth toned quilt uses many traditional techniques, but places them in a unique, up-to-date setting. The addition of circles, which symbolize wholeness and completion to many, gives an impression of peace and comfort.
  • Uses warm, vibrant earth tones
  • Updated use of traditional piecing and applique techniques
  • Emphasizes the "value of value"!
  • The design is carried out into the border
  • Makes a dramatic statement
  • Quilt finishes to 42" x 57" in size
The piecing is all familiar: circle applique, Log Cabin style framing, with watercolor background squares. Value gradations play an important role in creating this elegant design. A confident beginner could tackle this quilt, and anyone would enjoy it!
