Prairie Bounty: A raffle quilt by the Prairie Star Quilt Guild
Close-up of Prairie Bounty
This spectacular raffle quilt for the Prairie Star Quilters Guild of St Charles, IL will be on display at the Guild's quilt show.
It was designed by guild member, Caron Carlson, and uses the golds/ambers and blues found in our prairie grains and sky. A central appliqued medallion block is framed with a row of log cabin blocks, followed by a row of sawtooth stars and a final border of pineapple quilt blocks. Stunning!
This quilt measures 96" by 96".
Raffle tickets are available: $1.00 each or 6 tickets for $5.00.
A pattern has been created for this quilt. Contact Caron Carlson at bigtimequilter@yahoo.com for more information.
