Why this quilt captures our hearts;
On the surface the Summer Lily quilt appears to be a difficult and esoteric work that could only be accomplished by the highly skilled quilter. But it is the design, the structure that is really stunning. The instructions are not particularly elaborate or esoteric – it's just a matter of getting things exactly right.
Many sections are made with bias edges and gentle set in seams for putting the quilt together, which is a great opportunity to be mindful at the sewing machine. The pattern gives the patient quilter the credit for the accurate cutting and even 1/4" seams. Working with traditional templates or using foundation piecing as noted, it is satisfying to see the beautiful lily designs come together, block by block!
