“Potager Garden” Finished

Woohoo! I’ve finally had time to sew and I finished my quilt, Potager Garden.

Potager is a French word which means “for the soup pot.” Potager gardens are small kitchen garden which grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers. They were invented by monks in medieval times, who often laid out their raised beds in the shape of a cross. These led to the huge opulent gardens later seen in places like Versaille.

This quilt is made almost entirely from my own hand dyed/printed fabric, which made it extra fun.

I added a little contrasting stitching for interest.
