Meet Graduation...





We love how the graduating tones of this quilt provide the perfect backdrop for these gorgeous quilt blocks. This modern, stylish design is sure to brighten up any room!

Finished size: 60-1/2" x 72-1/2". $57

I had an idea of doing a series of blocks that used the same 
components and graduate them in difficulty.
It turned out so well that we decided to do it in 2 fabric lines
in 2 different layouts.

Meet Elementals, named for the fun nature ...
