Euphoria

Wall Quilt 1 panels assembly, 42˝ × 60˝

This diagram is the bottom right side of Euphoria. At this size, it makes a lovely wall quilt in its own right. You could substitute the Water Lily Window Box for one of the two panels 36˝ × 6˝. Similarly, there is no reason to use these 24˝ × 24˝ and 12˝ × 24˝ blocks if you prefer to use others. The only panel set in stone is the Tudor Rose Panel. I marked a 3˝ border, but you could use a 6˝ border successfully. Leave the borders plain or add butterflies. The edge could be curved, as in Euphoria, or left straight.

This diagram is the top left side of Euphoria. Refer to the paragraph for Wall Quilt 1 panels assembly for substitution and border ideas.

Bed Quilt 1 panels assembly, 72˝ × 72˝

Putting the 24˝ × 24˝ blocks together and surrounding them with the border from the Summer Table Runner would make a gorgeous Euphoria-style quilt that has a little more order. Make sure to center the border design to the 48˝ length on each side. The 12˝ × 12˝ corners could be filled with a single flower of your choice. As these are 7˝ flowers, center the flower to the 12˝ block. Surround the flower with two or three butterflies and tendrils so the flower doesn’t look too lonely.

Bed Quilt 2 panels assembly, 84˝ × 84˝

This is for those of you who want a big quilt but not all the work of Euphoria. All the blocks are surrounded by sashing, which could be left plain or include butterflies flitting from block to block. Use the Spring Table Runner or Summer Table Runner in the 12˝ × 42˝ block, centering it to the 42˝ length.
