Auntie Tess Quilt Pattern by Corliss Searcey
Auntie Tess Quilt Pattern
Original Design by Corliss Searcey
Finished Size: 83" x 83"
Auntie Tess is a truly enchanting quilt design by Corliss Searcey, inspired by the delicate beauty of a vintage powder compact. This original pattern blends soft elegance with delightful detail, creating a quilt that feels nostalgic, romantic, and full of charm.
At the heart of the quilt is a lush appliquéd floral center, framed by graceful borders filled with flowing vines, flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies. Subtle embroidery enhances the appliqué, adding texture and fine detail throughout the design. The butterflies and dragonflies are beautifully fussy cut, giving the quilt an added layer of artistry and whimsy.
All of this is set off by simply pieced blocks on point, which provide structure and balance while allowing the appliqué work to truly shine.
