"African Triad" with Sylvia Davis

Oct 22nd, 2010

This workshop project is an intriguing quilt with trios of interlocking square "rings" which may be set in many pleasing arrangements, depending on the size of your quilt, or make four "blocks"  and arrange them in a circle, as  in the sample she provided (see photo).  You need not use ethnic fabrics for this project - it is attractive in any theme!
