The first Lodhi Garden Quilt I made was with solids and the second was with Floral Elements by Art Gallery Fabrics which is a blender fabric. I wanted to make a version that used a variety of fabrics, not just one brand, some blenders, some solids and some patterns. However, I do not have enough scraps to make this happen. I also do not have the ability to match colors to get the hombre look necessary for each flower.
I reached out to Art Gallery Fabrics a couple months ago asking if they would collaborate with me to make a AGF version of my Lodhi Garden quilt pattern. They graciously agreed to work with me (happy dance!).
Lodhi Garden is a modern, block based quilt pattern designed for the beginner quilter. This quilt is especially modern in it's simplistic look. There is a large amount of white space so the focus is drawn completely to the colorful, modern flowers. Scraps, fat quarters or fat eighths all work great for this pattern. The more shades of colors the more the quilt comes alive.
Lodhi garden was our sanctuary and a place for my kids to run and play. They would explore ancient tombs, run through sprinklers, bird watch, chase chipmunks, climb trees...
