When I designed the Grasmere quilt I was influenced by those lovely tiles you may still see in Victorian houses. The hall is an undervalued area of our homes, a passage into the main part of the house. By adding wonderful tiled floors it became a space worthy of beauty and a welcome to the home.
These lovely examples of the pattern came from the first Grasmere Quilt workshop way back in 2016, ( L to R Cherry, Gill and Judith). I always find it incredible to see the patterns through others eyes. Changing the tonal value of the pattern can bring such unexpected results. I think that is what attracted me to patchwork in the first place.
The accompanying cushion pattern is an extension of the design, but still with the essence of the original.
Jean shows how versatile the patterns can be by using the cushion block pattern as a beautiful Christmas table runner.
Both patterns have now been updated in colour and are available from my ETSY shop RoeMayo as digital PDF downloads for you to print at home.
Don’t forget the Daffodil pattern is on sale this month to celebrate the start of Spring
Happy Quilting – Bev
