Royal Order Color Option

Rail Fence & Stars

Reverse the placement of lights and darks, by using chocolate brown stars in pieced cream backgrounds from Mary's Chocolates by Mary Koval for Blank Quilting. A blue ombré inner border and red print stars in the sashing pick up flecks of blue and red sprinkled throughout many of the brown prints.

Uncommon Beauty

Four-Patch units in a Nine-Patch arrangement are the focus of this antique quilt. The unknown quiltmaker wisely chose to fold under and hand-stitch the outer edges-an easier finish than working binding around myriad points.

Easy Floral Wall Hanging

Sophisticated florals peek through a trellis of cream and green tone-on-tones in this wall hanging. The uneven weave in the Laurel Cottage collection by Marianne Elizabeth for Benartex gives the fabrics the look of linen. Look for a curvy quilting pattern to both echo the scrolls in some of the prints and reiterate the pieced green "circular" shapes.
