Family Tree, Family Memories Free Quilt Pattern by Jill Reid & Susan McDermott
Family Tree, Family Memories combines a central family-tree print with pieced blocks and spaces for handwritten memories. Fussy-cut engraving images become the centers of memory blocks, where black or brown Pigma pen is used to add words before the surrounding patches are sewn. The central tree is set on point and framed with additional fabric. Made with Family Tree I and II prints, the approximately 60 inch square quilt brings the written memories and printed family-tree imagery into one patchwork design.
