Patchwork Puzzle
From Quick Quilts
Winter 1997/98 Issue

Designed by: Mary Jobe Mason

Designer Mary Jobe Mason chose elegant, understated colors that come together in a versatile wall hanging appropriate for country or contemporary decors. Make one of these quick-sew quilts in soft pastels for a little girl's room, in brights for a boy's room, or in Victorian colors for a rich-looking living room.
