This is a photo of the pattern front page. The design is called Joy by Kate Spain and is on the Moda website as a free pattern.
When I saw this I knew I wanted to make this - although not with Christmas fabrics.
I bought a batik roll - "Over the Rainbow Batiks" by Moda the other day and I changed my plans with it and now its being turned into this lovely pattern.
The colours are mainly from yellow greens through to the blues, purples and dark blues. The patterns on the fabrics remind me of the ocean.
Here are the first blocks being put together, and then I've lined up the colours, so each time there's a colour change I just choose another.
You can see the pattern emerging already and now to find the time to get everything done that needs doing........
good thing it's not a race!
Great News!

Happy Birthday to you on Friday! Can't wait to see how your quilt finishes. The fabrics are beautiful!
These patterns looks good, but I do love batiks with everything so I am a bit biased! Happy Birthday too!
