Finished Size: 56" X 68"

We're pleased to bring you an original Jeanne Poore design, featuring her Kansas-inspired HEARTLAND collection. It's an easy yet eye-catching look, entitled New Horizons. The key is to indulge in the wide variety of prints in this collection to achieve Jeanne's varied look.

Editor's Note: Oops, we goofed! In our excitement to get Jeanne's beautiful quilt on the road for an upcoming trade show, we shipped it out before remembering to photograph it! The actual photo will follow shortly! We appreciate your patience. - Lisa S
