My "Gothic Raven" quilt, included in this issue, was inspired by the writing of Edgar Allan Poe, and blends gothic colour symbolism with traditional piecing.
The quilt body is constructed using half-square triangle units and pinwheel blocks arranged to create optical movement, inspired by the atmosphere of classic Gothic literature.
The Raven Quilting
The finished size measures 48½” x 54½” [123 x 138cm].
Suitable for all skill levels, the project includes my opening article, ‘If Authors Made Quilts’, detailed construction instructions for the Gothic Raven Quilt, and step-by-step guidance for stitching an enlarged raven and my free motion quilting design, Meet Me in Faerie.

I would love to see pictures of your version of this quilt!
