Description:
Missie got permission to use the designs from the King George III Coverlet and put it together using her English Paper Piecing method. She says of The Gardens Of A King, "the center block represents a formal garden that may be found at an English Castle while the appliqué surrounding it are florals, fruits and herbs that were used often for daily needs of that time period. Surrounding the center are 16 different 6 3/4" blocks from the original quilt, repeated twice in the center of the quilt."
