Bits and pieces about Guenivere, the last known wife of Arthur, have come to us.  Her colors were green and white however, the quilt block that bears her name will work in any color combination and in many settings.

 

391 Vivienne
Great all over settings -- and one with a special surprise!  Intermediate quilters will love the curves on this design and those who are a little less skilled can square that template out and appliqué the arc for the same effect!

 

280 Enchantry
Lattice work and the illusion of curved seams! Great in any color combo!

 

398 Mystical
People will wonder how you sewed it!  Secret? Paper Piecing!  Super in any color combination or setting!

 
























In the Arthurian saga, there were three Ladies of the Lake. Viviane was the French Lady of the Lake, who raised and trained Lancelot. Ninueve is attributed with giving Arthur the sword Excalibur, and who was killed by Sir Balin. Nimue, a student of Merlin's, replaced Ninueve and eventually imprisoned Merlin in a rock in Cornwall. While for the most part considered good, the Ladies of the Lake were first and foremost pagan, and tried to stop the spread of Christianity, which put them at odds with Arthur from time to time.
