Sashing and Rectangles Quilt
For a calming version of Rectangle Reverie, choose a color palette that soothes the soul. Quilt tester Kathleen Williams used a dozen prints in aqua, lime, and cocoa from the Spa collection by Rosemarie Lavin for Windham Fabrics tied together with aqua tone-on-tone sashing and binding.
