Rachel's Basket Quilt

This is such a beautiful quilt. When I saw Rachel's Basket quilt at market I knew right then and there that I needed to order these fabrics because I thought you would really like this quilt too!  Everyone who has seen this pattern in the shop has fallen in love. The fabric collection designed by Marti Michell is Wild Roses from Maywood Studios.

The quilt pattern can be purchased separately or can be found in Marti's Log Cabin ABCs book. Marti recommends several of her rulers to make cutting this quilt a breeze. These include Marti's Log Cabin Ruler, Marti's Set B Templates and Marti's Diagonal Set Triangle Ruler.  You can make this quilt either 72" x 86" or 78" x 94" if you super-size the setting triangles. The ladies are busy putting our kits together as I write this newsletter.
