I'm not going into the pattern design business. I'm just trying to make a pattern for a community service quilt I purchased at a guild auction. It needed to be sandwiched and quilted. The more I looked at it, I began to understand how easy it would be to reproduce. It was really attractive.

I spoke to some of our members at the sit and sew, and got a little information that included, "Be sure to include instructions for fabric needs, so that people can use their own fabric if they desire." Well, I'm totally over my head. I've not made that many quilts, and most of those were made from photos instead of patterns. I also learned that we have more of the floral in both purple and blue.

How much extra fabric do you add for straightening the fabric and the inevitable waste? I've pretty much figured out how much you actually need. However, I'm lost on whether I'm correct. I suppose the correct answer is to make it and see.

However, my late spouse has two new great-grandchildren and the grands want I spy quilts for them, as the older ones got one. I think I pretty much have to make them one. The greats won't remember him, but the grands will.

Anyway, here's the quilt I think would be easy to make. (Yes, it's crooked, but I didn't make the quilt, I just sandwiched it and quilted it.)
