Motley Crew Color Option
Easy Squares Quilt
If a splashy floral is more to your liking than a pack of canines, replace each appliqué block in Motley Crew with an 8-1/2" square of your favorite print. Quilt tester Mary Pepper chose multicolor plaid and black-and-white print sashing and border fabrics to complement the florals, all from the Floralicious collection by Michele D'Amore for Benartex for this simple quilt.
