Desert Patchwork Quilt Pattern - An Arlene Walsh Design, Southwest Pattern, Fused Applique

Desert Patchwork - 19” x 35” 

Frame, wrap around a canvas, or simply hang as a quilt and Desert Patchwork will add that spark of the southwest to your home décor. Traditional quilts adorn a clothesline hung between saguaro cacti in the open desert. A bird of prey and family of quail complete the restful scene.  

Create an original fiber art wall-hanging using the detailed patterns and instructions of Arlene Walsh Designs. Employing a variety of appliqué techniques and tools throughout her patterns, Arlene Walsh has translated traditional pen and ink art images to dynamic multi-dimensional wall-hanging quilts and provided you with the information necessary to replicate these striking works of art.  

Arlene brings over fifty years of experience in quilt making and design to her patterns. Her personal quilting began to take over when she discovered needle turn appliqué. Soon Arlene was drawing pictures and transforming them into fabric art. In 1994, Arlene Walsh Designs, a quilt pattern company that specialized in Southwest designs, was formed. Arlene has lectured and taught in shops and at guilds across the country.
