Shades Free Quilt Pattern by Char Hopeman
Shades is a 64-by-81-inch quilt designed by Char Hopeman with Nancy Gere’s Shades of Grey collection. One block design surrounds a center square with flying geese and pieced triangle units, while the second builds outward with framed rectangles and corner squares. The two designs alternate in diagonal rows with setting triangles along the edges. A wide Charcoal border encloses the pieced center, and the finishing instructions use a separate Charcoal print for binding.
