Windsong Rails
Quilt designed by Patti Carey for Northcott/Monarch
Windsong fabric designed by Ro Gregg

Simply magical! It looks as if sixteen different
fabrics were used to create the quilt center of this traditional Rail Fence bed quilt. Look again, however, and you'll see that only four fabrics were used. The secret? Gradated stripes! The quiltmaker just fussy cut 81/2" squares and sewed them together. All one has to do is quilt along the stripes to make them look pieced. It's that easy!

Quilt designed by Cathryn Tallman-Evans for Henry Glass & Co.

Introduced to England by Catherine of Aragon (the first wife of Henry VIII), Blackwork as a needleart remained popular through Elizabethan times. Another Cathryn (Tallman-Evans) used the traditional Diamond Knot pattern to evoke the romance of Blackwork, but the setting used for the blocks gives the quilt a contemporary look.
