Paisley Parade, designed by Laurie Simpson, using the Prairie Paisley line of fabric by Minick & Simpson. Pattern published in the Spring/Summer 2008 Quilt Sampler magazine.
I first saw this quilt at Sister's Choice Quilts. Nicole added two additional borders to her quilt, which gave it a bit more size, as the original finishes at 56 inches square.
This quilt has been my camp quilt project for the past year. I was surprised to see I blogged about starting the quilt almost exactly a year ago!
I love the fabrics in this quilt - lots of paisley designs and a great red, white and blue color combination. I think this might have been one of Minick and Simpson's most popular lines of fabric (for Moda), because they released a very similar line about 2 years later!
I contemplated hand quilting this, since it is not real large. OTOH, I have several other quilt tops that are calling out for hand quilting and I don't want to keep this one in the queue forever. I'm already daydreaming about how this will look hanging on the wall at our camp.
