Columbine Garden is a strip-pieced quilt pattern from Mountainpeek Creations™, designed by Kari Nichols. Ten fabrics chosen from lightest to darkest are joined into color bands and subcut, so the background reads as a graded wash of color. Columbine flowers are then fused and appliquéd over the top, with outer petals, white inner petals and a yellow center.
