(Although I made sure that every print read as a single colour. If you use prints with too many colours, you run the risk of …
I’ve been wanting to make another version of my The Plus Side quilt pattern for a while now (pattern can be found here). I really like the layout of my last one (in Carkai by Carolyn Friedlander) and wanted to try it again with different colours: I went with a scrappy collection of FQs in …
