Still Life in Blue Free Quilt Pattern by Marsha Evans Moore
Still Life in Blue centers a vase of appliqued flowers and leaves within a pieced diamond border. Marsha Evans Moore designed this 36-1/2-by-42-1/2-inch project with Royal Blue batiks by Jacqueline de Jonge. The vase combines pieced sections with a decorative diamond, while curved stems connect the surrounding flowers. A fussy-cut butterfly motif adds another detail. The pattern includes raw-edge and turned-edge applique options, followed by patchwork and plain borders around the floral center.
