Last week I was searcbing through project totes when I came across the contents in this one and it said it was ready to become a quilt. And yes, if you're not a quilter, I know that you are making a call to have me evaluated. 😉 I printed the pattern out probably 10+ years ago and I paired it with this fabric from Michelle Watts, a local quilt designer. Someone will ask but, it was a free pattern and I don't remember where it came from. The bottom of the page says Quiltfox Design. I'm sorry I don't have more information.
I added the smokey black fabric and a Toasted Marshmellow Grunge for the background.
And then I stuck it in a bin. The pattern is made up of hsts...lots of them and it does give the option of cutting them from strips, but it doesn't give you the number of strips and the combination of hsts are incorrect and incomplete so I had to refigure what was needed.
Still, I was in the mood to just run a lot of fabric under my needle and this fit the bill...once I made the corrections and filled in the blanks.
I used the essential triangle ruler to cut the hsts, but I was able to decreased my strip width from what the pattern called for to end up with the required size.
I am still digging through my stash in search of a few coordinating fabrics because although I think I have enough fabric, I also think I'd like to make it a little scrappier, but hsts are piling up.
I'm calling this one Land of Enchantment since we live in NM and we recently caught 2" of rain so it's green and pretty darn enchanting here today.
