A gorgeous quilt and congratulations for a very deserving work of art. I too would like to know the name of the pattern. Is it paper pieced or strip pieced? It looks absolutely perfect.
St Mark’s Wall Hanging I am fascinated with illusions in quilts, so when I first saw this design, I knew that I wanted to make one for myself. The St. Mark’s wall hanging, one of the quilts from Nora McMeeking’s Bella Bella Quilts: Stunning Designs from Italian Mosaics, is usually made with 3 or 4 different fabric; the rainbow of colors was my choice. I started this wall hanging in the spring of 2011, using the traditional paper piecing method. When I was about one third of the through the medallion wedges I saw a tutorial on “paperless piecing” and switch methods. The quilt was a lot of work, but the paperless piecing did make it a bit easier and I would recommend this method. I think this is one quilt that will stay at our house instead of being given away like most quilts I make! |

Would you mind sharing where you got the pattern? I'd love to piece this for my sis.

I bow down to you. That is a beautiful quilt. I agree with everyone else. That one would have taken the blue ribbon if I was a judge. What a thrill! Was it hard to make? How long did it take? What is the name of the pattern? Please.
