Simply Quilts - Garden Path

This morning Alex Anderson's show was about a Japanese stone path quilt. It was beautiful, however the directions really didn't have pattern pieces. Has anyone made this quilt or a quilt like it? The quilt looks more like a stone wall, and it is a beauty.

I would like to find a pattern, but don't really want to buy her book for one pattern.

I also just saw this quilt and hope to make it. But I'm thinking of making it using scraps from my Oriental fabric stash that I've used for other things rather than using batiks or something more "stone-like".

She used japanese prints, but they were leaf type of prints. Anyway, the directions on HGTV did not have a pattern for the blocks, just said you had to make up your own. I guess it is get out the graph paper and try to come up with something useable.

Several ladies in my guild made that quilt. I think it was a Sylvia Pippin pattern/book. Maybe your local library or quilt guild has a copy to borrow?

I enjoyed the show too, but marching along to my different drummer, it seemed to me that her idea would work beautifully with a crazy quilt. Her pieces on the stone wall were generally just rectangles with rounded corners and sort of tilted. Don't you think we could do that without a pattern if we had a pretty good picture of the quilt?

If you go to the Amazon link that Sunny furnished you can click on the book and see several pages from the book. One is "surprise me". Maybe you can get some additional info by using those pages? Good luck!
