Story Petals Free Quilt Pattern by Lisa Swenson Ruble
Story Petals combines pieced quarter-square triangle blocks with appliqued flowers in a 60 x 75-inch quilt. Lisa Swenson Ruble uses Storybook fat quarters for the colorful block sections and flower shapes, with white fabric connecting the design. Twenty blocks form five rows of four. Small flowers sit at the block centers, while larger flowers fill the spaces where four blocks meet. Contrasting circular centers and orange binding complete the quilt.
