This dramatic king-sized quilt in Amish colors was designed by Nancy Rink. It was a kit in many segments, twelve different classic blocks, using black as the backdrop. The borders contain stylized appliqué flowers. The bright pieced inner border and sashing blocks brighten it up. I sent it to Melanie Vaughn at The City Quilter in NYC for long-arm quilting. It was too big for me to manage on my domestic sewing machine. It was a most enjoyable project.
