Burst of Blooms Color Option

Burst of Blooms Color Option

Quilt tester Laura Boehnke took advantage of the block centers in Burst of Blooms to showcase fussy-cut jungle animal outlines from the Baobob Flannels collection from RJR Fabrics. She chose to widen the outer border, cutting strips 9-1/2" wide, to feature the fabric collection's decorative border print in the frame of this 60-1/2"-square baby quilt.

Contact Material Girl to purchase a copy of the Fall/Winter 2010 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine. Issues are also available at your local quilt shop, on newsstands, and online.
