The Royal Iris is constructed using five distinct sections: Group J is comprised of (8) center diamonds; Groups K and L radiate out from the center star in two additional rounds of (8) star points each; Group N is a pieced medallion-style border that prepares the center star for the outer border; and Group D is a pieced and appliquéd medallion border added to the rounds to result in a 99″-square quilt. The quilt blocks were designed by Judy and Bradley Niemeyer. The layout and colorway was created by Judel Niemeyer using Quiltster.

This pattern uses the same Bridal Bouquet machine embroidery package as Valley Blossoms and can be purchased separately.
