Earthtones Free Quilt Pattern by Marsha Evans Moore
Earthtones is an intermediate quilt designed by Marsha Evans Moore featuring Spotted Graffiti fabrics by Marcia Derse. Template-cut pieces build five long vertical rows from separate upper and lower strips. Narrow sashing separates these rows, and several measured borders frame the quilt. The stated finished size is 60 by 74.5 inches. Full-size templates and individual row-placement diagrams are included, and the assembly instructions account for slight differences in row length by measuring the pieced rows before cutting the sashing.
