I never imagined a scrappy quilt could have such cohesion - I'm sure I've stared at it for at least 10 minutes! Thanks for sharing your photos.
Gemm- yes, I have been using her free patterns for the Color Block quilts. She posted a link on her website to her Teachable site. You have to sign up for her "class" to get the patterns, but it's free.
In 2021 she created a pattern for each month using 16 patch "color blocks" made from 2.5' squares. It was a great way to use up those scraps. I also found it nice to have a quick to put together quilt each month that I could use to try out new to me FMQ ideas on. She is doing another one for 2022, also free. Check out her website for a link to her teachable site if you want to do that one. I'm sitting it out since I'm still trying to do all the ones from 2021 LOL!
