Quilt Pattern: Leapfrog by Barbara Barber

Quilt Size: 20.5 inches square

Machine Pieced, Appliqued, and Quilted

Date Made: 2004

In November 2004 I took a class with Barbara Barber, the wonderful British quilter. After making one block of her Leapfrog pattern, I decided that I would scale down the blocks for the "real" quilt.  This one is now a small art quilt. Barbara's technique of using bias binding to cover round applique shapes--rather than doing curved piecing--is genius!
