First off - thank you for all the kind wishes you extended to my friend. It's clear that most of us have been affected by issues with neurological disorders - either ourselves or someone we love. I hope that we can all continue to be open and frank about the reality of those issues because I think that is what will bring the most healing and help in those difficult situations.
Second - thank you so much for the kind quilt love! I have to be honest - I wondered if anyone would even like this quilt because in my mind, it was rushed and imperfect. So thank you for the lovely boost to my self-esteem.
in downloadable .pdf format.
- The finished quilt measures 61" x 82". (Would be very simple to make bigger by adding borders or additional blocks.)
- This quilt is definitely falls in the "amaze and astound your friends category" because it's very simple to put together; it only looks much more complicated than it really is.
- This pattern is Charm Pack friendly - you don't need a huge stash to achieve the multi-fabric look.
- Solids require about 2 yards each of a dark and light fabric. Details in the pattern.
This pattern consists of 4-pages of color instructions. The pattern can be purchased by clicking on the Buy Now button above. It will also be available in my new Pattern Shop. (See button over there --->? Towards the top??) I will also list it in my etsy shop, but it's cheaper if you buy it here. The pattern will be emailed as soon as payment clears. Please let me know if there is interest in a hard-copy version and I will list that too.
Many thanks again for your encouragement. I don't know if I would have had the guts to go forward with this whole pattern business with out it. Thanks also to Quilt Story for featuring this quilt and its story this week.

Love it! But before I buy it - can you tell me the finished size and the material requirements so I can figure out costs?<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Kandra

Beautiful pattern! I'm a new quilt maker and have been looking and looking for my next project. I really want to make a king size quilt for our bed. Does this pattern include dimensions to fit a king size bed?

A couple responses for people I couldn't reply to in email: <br /><br />@Kandra - Thanks so much for your comment! - I updated the post with the measurements and fabric info. Email me and I can give you more details.<br /><br />@BaileyFamily - This pattern doesn't include instructions for a King, but if you want to email me I'd be happy to help figure it out!

i love it!<br />I was really inspired by the quilt and attempted to do something similar for a gift... it turned out fine, but I will suggest to people that they buy your pattern because it was a MATH PROBLEM AND A HALF!<br />beautiful work, I will be buying the pattern, just to say thank you for the inspiration... =) and to get the math you used for a larger one that I will be making for
