This is an unusual design that surfaced during the
West Virginia's documentation project. It's an explosive
design - a twelve point rosette surrounded by three rings
of triangles. Foundation piecing is used to construct the
triangle rings, faced appliqué for the rosette, and the
resulting 21" circle is sewn into a 24" background
square.

One Day (6 hour) Option:
Class project is the one ring version. Pattern and some
instruction for the two ring and three ring versions will be
presented.

Two Day (12 hour) Option:
Get a very good start on completing all three rings.

A quilt that resides at the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace
in Hillsboro, WV, inspired this project. The 14
spoke design resembles Dresden Plate, but
shapes set in between the spokes provide a
challenge. Strip piecing and freezer paper
templates will aid in its construction. The class
project is a 18" pieced block.
