New Videos Every Friday City Lights Patchwork quilt with Helen HowesThis is a very simple patchwork quilt made with traditional squares and rectangles and wonderful fabrics from the Oakshott ranges.The beauty of the quilt comes from the fabrics used. Helen chose some of the Oakshott fabric ranges because they gave her two colourways to use each time hence the lights being either on or off. The blocks do require some accurate piecing so do pay attention. The pattern is available for all members.
