QM Patterns: Meadow Morning

Made by Carolee Miller. Border fabric from Benartex Inc. Photographed at Hearthstone Furniture & Accessories in Centennial, Colorado.

I became interested in quilting when I took a geometry class in high school. I was fascinated by the bold and surprisingly sophisticated patterns that could be created from the simplest shapes. Meadow Morning is an extension of the "less is more" design philosophy; this design is a combination of 2 basics-the Four Patch and the half-square triangle.
