Wild Bunch Squared

My daughter has an uncanny ability to find bargains. Last November she was raving about fabric she found at a statewide discount store. I didn't think too much about it until she showed me the designers' story online and the website* where you could buy the fabric, at three times the discount store price. The colors are vibrant and the patterns are bold. I know how much she likes the material, and how limited her time is, so for her birthday I offered to make her a quilt. She gave me carte blanche to design whatever I wanted. It's a surprise. I will post a picture after it's finished and she has seen it. My process is to cut, cut, cut squares in a way that I get the greatest number of squares out of the fabric I have. This meant that there was little left over ~

Yesterday I spent several hours laying out a design with the 729 three and a half inch squares. The next step is to sew, sew, sew.

*The designers are Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr. The fabric is from their Wild Bunch collection.
