 Lynn Miller -- Oak Leaf Clusters with Coxcomb Garland

modified from Oak Leaf & Star Pattern, Leisure Arts Leaflet 199024, pub 1993.

"I modified this pattern from the original but retained the traditional coloring and over-all feel of the quilt.  It is all hand appliqued, with machine piecing and quilting.   Started as a "carry-along" hand project while living in Germany in 2004.  Completed in June 2017, after sitting in the UFO pile for 12 years!"

 Lynn Miller -- Traditions Made Modern

Pattern -- Easy Breazy Hexies by Sonja Callaghan in Quiltmaker Magazine May/June 2013

"This is one of the very few quilts I have ever made that I followed the pattern -- same size, fabric choices, construction method, and quilting style (with a few slight tweaks on the quilting but overall same feel).   Machine pieced and quilted."

 Mary Downey -- Easy Street

"Made for a cousin for her July wedding -- she loves green and purple."

 Jim Melton -- Mom's Doily Crochet Quilt

"Shown at 2017 Quilt Show while T was doing her tour of quilts"
