Now this is a lesson in timing. A woman who (used to) work at the LQS came to our guild with a really cute kit with the main poppy fabrics. I went to the store in the next day or two, but they didn't have the kits cut yet. I waited. Too long. I went back 3-4 weeks later. No kits. The last two fabrics from the line were in the clearance area. So I bought all the yardage left. Found some coordinating fabrics and went home to make up my own pattern.
Tomorrow - I'll show you how to make your own. It's a pretty simple pattern, but I like that it shows off large prints.
I quilted it in an all over meander, which can be overdone, at times, but in this case, because I had so many bold blocks going on and found a perfectly matched variegated thread, I think it worked perfectly.
Finished size is 47 x 67 after washing.
Come back tomorrow for a super easy block/quilt tutorial.
