My tastes are not as wild as some might think. I have my favorite fabric designers but every once in a while, something really catches my eye. That was the case in Colorado a few years ago. My good friend and I almost always find a quilt store to shop at while we are at the annual Toastmasters Convention. That was the case when we visited Colorado a few years ago.
The shop had 1 kit left in this Free Spirit pattern and fabric. We both look a good look and we both loved it. Does it match anything in my 1928 bungalow home - not a chance. But it is on my bed as I type this entry.
The pattern called for 3 fabrics. Two are cut the length of the piece which is unusual. Most fabric is cut the width of fabric. The reason is simple, to maintain the pattern printed on the fabric.
When I made the quilt, I realized, because of the cutting instructions, I would have enough of the 2 of the fabrics to make a second quilt. I simply needed to add a solid to the mix.
I really like this quilt. I like the fabric and whimsy nature of it.
