Instead of hundreds of small pieces sewn to make the rings, each of the 12 ovals in the center panel are cut from a whole piece of fabric. These rings are sewn (appliqued) to the center background of the quilt. The appliques are sewn with the fabric edges raw, exposed. They are designed to fray to the stitches, giving a textured, unaffected look to the quilt. The appliques and the quilting are done at the same time. The borders are assembled and quilted individually before being attached to the quilt.
Every step in this quilt was planned to create the most beautiful quilt possible in the most efficient way possible.

HOW DOES A PDF PATTERN WORK?
A PDF pattern (also called e-book or tutorial) is simply a pattern that you can view and print from your home computer. No special printer required - prints on regular copy paper. Please note that full size pattern pieces are made by taping regular copy paper together at specified points. PDF patterns are great because you can save them to your computer and reuse them anytime. No more lost or worn out pattern pieces.
PDF's can be opened and viewed from Adobe Reader which you may already have on your computer. If not, go to adobe.com for a free download.
-CAN I SELL ITEMS MADE FROM YOUR PATTERNS?
Yes! You are welcome to sell finished items handmade by you locally and online (such as Etsy). Please mention where the pattern came from ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/marylandquilter?ref=si_shop) in your listing. The pattern itself is copyrighted and can only be used by the purchaser and copied for their use. In other words, do not sell or share the pattern.
