Rosehips Mini Quilt
Rosehips Mini Quilt
This design was inspired by my autumnal and winter country walks, and the quietness and resting of these seasons. It is a time to see the beautiful architecture of seed heads that are in abundance, and the deep redness of the Rosehips against the paleness of the cooler skies. The paper piecing was inspired by the Jane Austen coverlet.
Finished size 19.5 x 20 inches.
