The Lighthouse Trail Free Quilt Pattern by Sue Pickering
The Lighthouse Trail by Sue Pickering is a 67 inch square quilt featuring the Sandy Shores collection. Fussy-cut lighthouse and seaside motifs are arranged around a central lighthouse square, with rows of small squares building the surrounding sections. Sand-print strips and red-and-white stripe corner posts break up the piecing. Additional lighthouse squares, a narrow clay border and postcard-print outer borders complete the top, followed by a red-and-white striped binding.
