A beautiful intarsia quilt designed by Dee Hardwicke.

The intarsia hexagons feature motifs of flowers, leaves and berries celebrating the four seasons.

Each charted design is worked twice, then part hexagons are knitted to complete edges of the quilt.

The yardage of each colour used varies, depending on the motif. Exact amounts are given in the book but if you don’t have the exact amounts you can easily substitute another colour.

The book also includes advice on designing your own charts, with blank hexagons provided to help you on your creative journey, plus details on how to make yarn butterflies.

If you purchase the book at The Wool Croft in Abergavenny, Wales, which is close to Dee’s own home, you will receive an additional daffodil motif chart, exclusive to the shop.

The book is printed on good quality paper and has lovely photographs to accompany the designs. All the charts are in colour.
