Pirate's Lure Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Pirate's Lure surrounds a large unpieced fabric center with a border of four different rectangular block designs. Wendy Sheppard created the 52 by 62-inch quilt with Treasure Hunt fabrics by Marcia Derse. Short background segments break up the print strips within each border block, and plain squares anchor the corners. A second narrow border separates this pieced frame from the wider outer border, keeping the central fabric as one continuous piece.
