2. Fruit Slices Quilting Diagram

In Angela’s “Up All Night” design for the Fruit Slices quilt, she uses ribbon candy, wishbones and continuous curve designs to highlight the colorful strips throughout the quilt. The “Turn In Early” option uses mostly straight lines, using the corners of each strip as guides.
