I made this quilt a LONG time ago and posted about it when my blog was very, very new.
I thought the Summer Fair would be a good time to bring it to my blog again:
It is called Cosmati II from the book Bella Bella Quilts by Nora McMeeking. I made this in March of 2009 and it was quilted by Janice Antony who has done many of my quilts.
It's mostly done by paper piecing with an applique center.
