This is my first McKenna Ryan quilt. well, so far it is just a top. it came together in a couple weeks....which is quick for me....as i was working on other things at the same time. I enjoyed this more than i thought i would.
I love the looks of her quilts but they always seem so complicated and intimidating. this one is 42" square.
There are a gazillion tiny pieces
I dug out all the batiks i had and bought the ones for the background in the blocks. some fabrics are not batiks.
See those white flowers above this....each petal is cut out individually....that almost did me in. haha
Those sashings are 1.5" squares
It's going to be a chore to quilt i think....sewing down all those tiny pieces....and changing thread colors.
This pattern came from my friend, Sharon. I have two more of her patterns that I want to do....the Beach Walk and the Storybook Farm. I have pulled out Beach Walk and it will probably get started soon. I might be addicted after just one. what i particularly like about her patterns are that they are already printed backwards, so you don't have to reverse your drawings to fuse it. and her pieces already have a seam allowance in them.
