Ornamented Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Ornamented places a printed panel at the center of a 49-by-57-inch quilt and surrounds it with a border of diamond-in-square units. Several coordinating prints appear in the pieced border, followed by narrow framing strips and a wider outer print border. Wendy Sheppard designed the quilt with the O’Christmas Tree collection. The outer border is pieced from designated lengths of fabric, and a coordinating stripe finishes the quilt as binding.
