Balanced, simple, and sometimes austere, the four-patch pattern might seem basic at first glance, but each fabric is a canvas of its very own.  

Minimal design harmonizes with everything from mid-century geometrical patterns, timeless florals, and chambray to lightweight corduroy & seersucker.  Discovering the many wonderful fabrics used on this quilt will be an adventure!

The colorful top and pristine white backing were machine quilted together, utilizing a thin cotton blanket for batting to give this piece a cozy weight!  There are a few places where the original stitching has come undone.  I crudely attempted to patch these spots to prevent further unraveling, but my expertise is not sewing.
