Shifting Veil Free Quilt Pattern by Wendy Sheppard
Shifting Veil is an intermediate quilt designed by Wendy Sheppard featuring Shadows fabrics. It finishes at 72.5 by 75.5 inches. Pieced rectangles with diagonal corner seams combine with triangle units to form rectangular blocks in several fabric pairings and orientations. Six rows of seven blocks are divided by narrow sashing, with contrasting squares spaced through the horizontal strips. An inner border and a wider outer border surround the center, while a labeled layout guides the placement of each block version.
