About 3 years ago I made this quilt as a custom order and have had several requests for a pattern, but I knew that it would not be an easy pattern to put together. I was right - writing this pattern just about drove me nuts. But the things that made it difficult to write are also the things that make it faster and easier for you to make the quilt.
- Fat quarter cutting diagrams - these allow you to efficiently use fat quarters (though of course you can use any cut of fabric to make your quilt).
- Partial blocks - instead of making full blocks that go around the edge of the quilt, the pattern has you make partial blocks. This saves a lot of time and a lot of fabric and makes trimming the finished quilt top much easier.
- Cutting instructions that are written for per block to help you individualize your quilt - this helps a lot if you want to rainbow-ize your quilt like I did ;)
Despite the hair-pulling that came with the writing process, I am thrilled with how the pattern came together. There are lots of photos, tips, and thorough instructions to help you make your quilt. It is an experienced beginner pattern so it is perfect for quilters who have a couple quilts under their belt, but also fun for experienced quilters.
The patterns is available as both a PDF and paper pattern and there are free coloring sheets available in the shop to help you plan your fabrics.
I will share a little more about my version of the quilt later this week, but I used a long-hoarded fat quarter bundle of The Lovely Hunt by Lizzy House. One of my goals is to sew as much from my stash as possible this year, and this was such a satisfying way to use this pretty fabric.
My pattern testers for this quilt were AMAZING and I am excited to share their quilts with you. Make sure you scroll all the way through!
