A fresh and happy design was inspired by a fig tree Monica Poole saw on her way to the Australasian Quilt Convention, which then reminded her of childhood days spent playing in a yard full of fruit trees planted by her father. We love the large applique and foundation pieced blocks are combined to make this enjoyable quilt.

The Quilt
The finished quilt measures 72" square, and you can use the applique method of your choice. There is also foundation paper piecing, and your choice of a quilt-as-you go method, or traditional finishing. Please note - if you decide to make yours as a quilt-as-you go, you will need to have your backing fabric and batting with the first block.

The Kit - Cotton or Wool Applique Option
The kits include all of the fabric required to complete the quilt top as shown, including binding. Along with the instructions, we include the pre-printed foundation paper, and also your choice of the cotton applique (as shown here on the original), or wool applique for the trees and their fruits and their friendly visitors. The instructions include color images and step-by-step easy to follow diagrams.
