Marcus Fabrics - Make it with Marcus, Indigo, Pewter and Honey

Quilt Designed by Jean Ann Wright
Skill level: Intermediate
Finished Quilt Size: 78” x 78”

We love the high contrast of Judie Rothermel's INDIGO, PEWTER & HONEY collection, as interpreted here by Jean Ann Wright. You can keep the look simple with a few colors like this, or use the pattern's simple piecing and pull out your favorite remnants for a more scrappy effect.
