I saw this vintage quilt at a Flea Market one day. It was faded,
tattered and the edges were all but falling off the obviously well worn
quilt. It was beautiful to me. In this pattern, I have tried to
recreate both the pattern and the feel of this lovely sunwashed old
quilt. As usual we used no piecing templates & tricky methods than
the original hand pieced version and have come out with a fairly simple
quilt! All of the curves in this pattern are created with one
semicircle applique template.
