Awhile ago, this pattern link was posted here, forgive me I can't remember who posted it but, it's a Moda bakeshop recipe called Sweet Menagerie by Roslyn Mirrington. I decided to use many of my Moda scraps to make my own version. The directions were wonderfully easy and it went together in a jiffy. Mine is a combination of Moda Maypole and Simplicity bits and pieces. It fits nicely on the twin bed in our spare bedroom. My hubby, the quilt holder, is holding it up in his rather haphazard way but, you get the idea.
Our local quilt shop uses all over grid pattern quilting for most of their display quilts and I decided to try it on this one. I doubt if I'll do it again anytime soon! The darn little metal arm thingy attachment that you use for even lines kept moving, and I ripped out about as much as I sewed. I was thinking maybe some of those rubber faucet washers on either side might hold it in place if I ever want to try it again on such a big project. I'm so happy it's done, washed and covering the bed as I write this. On to the next one......Donna
