The Apple Basket "Roundabout" Quilt


The Apple Basket Shop Hop Quilt is called "Roundabout", I have incorporated cotton fabrics mainly Kaffe Fassett and Tula Pink and hand dyed wool fabrics. I have embellished the centre with Debbie Abrahams glass beads and Sue Spargo's Eleganza threads,  this is optional and is an extra cost for the embellishing kit.  The backgrounds are all Moda fabrics and include crosses, circles, spots and hexagons on a variety of greys.


This is the part of the quilt "Roundabout" that you will receive with your "Passport" when you register, ($55.00) minus the two sashing's around the centre block.  The centre hexagon and green circle is in hand dyed wool fabric - very vibrant.
Borders, sashing's and binding for the entire quilt are an additional cost. 

We are now taking registrations for "Roundabout Quilt" on our website.

"Spot the Difference"

The Country Dawn Shop Hop quilt is based on the Modern Quilt philosophy and we have allowed plenty of negative space for those that enjoy quilting.  It comprises nine blocks and nine sets of spots. This is our layout and instructions will be included as per above, however we will show you in the weeks to come what else you can do with these cute spots and blocks.  The beauty of this quilt is that the spots are pre-cut and pre-fused so all that is needed to complete is applique, quilt and finish in your style. You will be able to purchase additional spots and background fabric, thread and embellishments to make this quilt your own.
We are now taking registrations for this quilt on our website http://www.countrydawnquilting.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi
