I had told a friend (a Mom of my DD's friend) that I would make her a quilt. Well, between her work schedule, COVID19 shutdown and my moving, we never did connect on what she actually wanted. I only remember, 'not too big' as she wanted to take it into the ice rink to watch her boys play hockey. I had asked my DD if she knew the Mom's two favorite colors and the response was purple and more purple. It's been nagging at me that I should probably make her a little something.
When I saw this fabric...it was a lightbulb moment.
Lots of purple with a light scattering of blue. I kinda have a thing for paisleys as I like to make the Four Patch Stacked Posies Quilt. Here is the jacket cover I pilfered off of the internet;
Here is a Pinterest page with all sorts of images of this quilt, Pinterest page.
This paisley repeat was just under 8 inches so I cut my stacks at 3.5 inches.
I'll need 30 blocks so I need one full set of the stacks and a half set of the stacks as each full stack of the repeats yields 20 - 6 inch finished blocks.
