Athens Floral Stripe was designed around the border striped fabric that I found in a small dress fabric shop in Athens, Greece. Mixing florals, stripes and diamond corners, the quilt is a lively and perfectly balanced mix of color and pattern. Using fabric patterns of similar value and density helps unite the variety. The snowball patchwork gives the illusion of circular form, although made with straight lines. The overall look is a quilted flower garden.
