Imagine Autumn in Provence: the tourists have gone home, the gardens are cleared, and the evenings lengthen into deep, starlit nights. A hand-quilted matelasse comforter, fresh from an airing in the crisp afternoon sea air, is folded invitingly at the foot of the bed. This skirt is inspired by a style of French quilt stitching, with a drape and vertical grid pattern designed to flatter any figure. Machine-washable silk makes this skirt practical; decorative chain embroidery makes it memorable.

Skill Level: Easy

Note: 5 additional colors are needed to complete the embroidery. They are not included in the required yardage for the skirt.
