Explore the latest in interlaced designs of Celtic scrollwork! These interlaced basket patterns were inspired by the author's interest in Baltimore album applique quilts. Scarlett Rose easily adapted these woven basket patterns into her style of interlaced scrollwork. All the block patterns are interchangeable with the patterns in her first book, CELTIC STYLE FLORAL APPLIQUE. You can choose to make a quilt just like the ones in this book, or you can use the patterns and techniques to come up with your own unique designs. The author not only includes ideas, but also illustrations and patterns that will encourage all who love the art of applique and quiltmaking!
