The Marcella quilt is 94 inches-by-94 inches. It was pieced by Pam Riss in the past 12 months. Tickled Pink, a new quilt store in Pontiac, sponsored this quilt as a block of the month during 2022. The quilt was designed by Nancy Rink for Marcus Fabrics. The pattern uses the Marcella Marchives fabric collection designed by Nancy Rink. The final long-arm quilting was done by Nancy Fessel of Ransom.
