Simple patchwork, detailed appliqué, and hand embroidery can make a quilt come to life. A big beautiful quilt like this is meant to be used or taken along on everyday adventures. I encourage you to compose or seek out your own sayings and use your own handwriting for this “ordinary” quilt. The beauty of being a maker is starting with a pattern and turning it into something all your own.

Great ways to use your quilt or take it with you:

• Picnic blanket, Beach quilt, Tablecloth or even a Heirloom quilt for a loved one to take on a journey through life.
