OOhhhh, Wildwood by Erin McMorris for Free Spirit

Pssstt. Here's just a little bitty sneak peek of a corner of the quilt I made from some of the fabrics in Erin McMorris's Wildwood collection. This group of fabrics is so fresh, funky, and fun! The quilt has simple piecing with a touch of applique in the borders, which seems to be my trademark lately. The gorgeous quilting was done by Lynn douglass of Lynn's Creative Stitches. She's a longarmer friend of mine here in Bakersfield. Look for the pattern to this quilt in the May 2010 issue of The Quilter Magazine.
