Our Marblehead fabrics have been incredibly popular because
of their versatility and the rich depth of colors. Did you know that the line
also includes a few prints? Appropriately, these prints look like intricately
tiled marble floors. We think you'll really like playing with them!
Tuscan Mosaic featured in The Quilter magazine, November 2012 |
Designed by: Sue
Harvey and Sandy Boobar of Pine Tree Country Quilts
Featured in: The
Quilter magazine, November 2012 issue
Fabric: Marblehead
collection by Ro Gregg
At first glance, this show-stopping quilt appears to be
meticulously appliquéd. Impressive, but not every quilter wants to
cut and stitch all.those.tiny.pieces. Good news! These gorgeous block designs
are preprinted, ready to be cut out and added to your design.
Sue and Sandy offered a look behind the scenes at their
Tuscan Mosaic design.
Q: What about
this fabric spoke to you?
Sue: Sandy and I
both would love to have [the main print] as flooring. We really like working
with panels and printed squares because it's a challenge to come up with
something to do with them that's creative.
Q: And the color
palette?
Sue: Those are
really our kind of colors; we are both autumn color lovers. Natural sorts of
things appeal to us.
Q: How did you
decide upon the Log Cabin-style treatment around the tile squares?
Sue: The squares are
large, so by setting them on point, we had more space to work with and could
using piecing to add texture. I like that it forms a design within a design,
and that it really looks like a tile floor.
Q: What do you like best about this quilt?
Sue: The whole
design stems from the color. We love the palette, and the tile look the squares
and piecing creates.
