can't find it, can't think of it...
i'm hoping someone on the board can help me. several years ago (maybe 7-10?) i bought a pattern at road to california quilt show. it was called something like "blueberry pie" or "raspberry swirl" or something that made me think of berries in food. the quilt was made with two different batiks and looked SO much better in person than the picture on the pattern. the author's name started with "s" or "sh" and might have been swan-something.
i've googled all of that information with no luck. BUT the technique of the quilt was cutting edge at the time. lots of little squares that were folded on the bias and sewn into seams, similar to jackie robinson's 3-D quilts. but then she turned that bias edge back and stitched it down AFTER the quilt was sandwiched. thus you quilted and got the pattern all at the same time. i know she also was speaking in southern california and had varied traditional patterns into rounded edges using her technique.
does this sound familiar to anyone? i bought the pattern and can't find it, and now i'm ready to make the quilt. ain't that always the way??!? i'd appreciate any help or leads, or if someone has the pattern they aren't going to use.
thanx much,

Was it Sue Pickering's Blueberry Buckle pattern?

I'm not aware of the pattern but the technique sounds like something

thank you phyllis, that certainly looks like the technique. i have a friend who could bring back fabric for me IF i knew how much i needed. since i can't find the pattern, i was hoping someone might have it or i could get the info online before my friend comes back home. the BB has always been a great resource for that type of thing, maybe someone will still come thru before my deadline.
