Fiddleheads Quilt handing on a wooden tree trunk structure. The background fabric is light blue with flower paper pieced blocks that include fiddleheads, lupine, and hot pokers.

This might be one of my favorite quilts from my new book, Petal + Stem, but it was the most difficult to photograph. Gosh, I wish you could see it in person because it’s prettier! I envisioned an unmown meadow with wildflowers growing to different heights, all different colors. While I enjoy visiting botanical gardens that are carefully tended, overgrown, wild gardens really captivate me.

This quilt includes a selection of blocks that are rectangular. The tops can be used alone or placed on top of a stem or stem and leaf component to add height.

The fiddlehead blocks are so delicate and graceful. Because I particularly love them, I named the quilt Fiddleheads.

Fiddleheads finishes at 60″ x 72.” It’s a great size for cuddling on the couch and dreaming of flowers during the winter.
