BEHIND THE QUILTA FRESH NEW TAKE

Not for the faint-hearted, Autumn Postcard is Liza’s new take on her original quilt design, based on an antique quilt spotted on a postcard at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. This beauty of a quilt is a real feat of geometry and piecing. FreeSpirit Fabrics is also doing a fabric pack to make the quilt, which includes: All fabrics needed to assemble the quilt top and the binding; full-size templates; link to digital pattern, access to online video tutorials. www.freespiritfabrics.com
