The Chateau BOTM uses 11 specially chosen fabrics that represent the colors of grapes, greenery and woody grapevines. Traditional piecing techniques are used in making this 108” square quilt. The quilt was created with the “Chateau” center block with the castle-like piecing around it representing the mansion of the vineyard with the countryside surrounding it.
