Through the Garden Gate

Made by Georgina B. Fries

The traditional Jack in the Pulpit blocks in this soft and pretty quilt offered one of our favorite designers room to play with scraps of pink and green. Georgina Fries from Lothian, Maryland, used light prints in the quilt to add a little sparkle, and the soft pink and green mitered borders to tie the quilt together. For those who like a little drama, the pink paisley patches add punch, or you can fill those areas with quilting using the Meadowsweet quilting motif.

The quilt, nicely sized for a child's quilt or a wall hanging, is easy enough for the experienced beginner. This quilt has mitered borders but butted borders can be substituted if you prefer.

Georgina's quilt top was finished with hand quilting by an Amish quilter.

This pattern appears in the July/August 2006 (#384) issue of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. If that issue is no longer available at your local quilt store, check back issue availability and order online at www.villagequiltshoppe.com.
