Peppermint and Holly by Cherie Swanson, quilted by Nancy Stein

Here is a festive quilt featuring baskets of blooms and berries, with peppermint sashes and an elegant holly leaf border.

Cherie Swanson says, "Piecing and hand applique are my favorite combination of techniques. The holly gives hints of Christmas but this quilt will stay out all year." The Peppermint and Holly pattern is from Quilting the Garden by Barb Adams (Blackbird Designs, 2004). Cherie's beautiful applique work can be seen in the closeup photo, below.
