About This Quilt
Notice the strong diagonal line
Karen created with her design. The
blocks on the lower left quadrant
are simply turned 180° to create
the mirrored effect. With careful
color and block placement, you can
achieve the same look. Use a design
wall or the fl oor to ensure that the
blocks are positioned correctly.
