Morris Patchwork: Simple shapes and not so simple

Bordered Diamonds by Gert at Real Men Stitch
A very nice use of the Best of Morris prints.


It's a Kaffe Fassett & Liza Lucy pattern, 
perfect for showing off a collection of fabrics.


Watch how Gert's progressing at his blog:

The pattern's in Simple Shapes, Spectacular Quilts

Rectangles or strips...
The Morris Apprentice Cobblestone Quilt Kit from 
Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe & Mercantile.

They mixed Morris and batiks. The kit's probably sold
out but the combination is worth noting.

Simple shape, complex cutting. 

Avalon Bloom does the cutting for you. See their Kaleidoscope kits here:
