When you see this color? Seriously - can you? I can't... of course orange is my favorite color. This is the second finish from my September retreat. I made all the blocks while there and then assembled them when I got home. This is a great project to use when you are borrowing a sewing machine - no worries about your seam allowance because you square up the blocks after putting them together.
I used Elizabeth Hartman's Crazy 9-Patch Lattice pattern. Check out her blog Oh, Fransson! for many other very cool quilt patterns that she so generously shares with her readers. AND I see she's coming out with a new book in May, which I know I will be buying because I loved her first book.
I've made this before in green for my niece. It's a great way to use color blocks in a quilt and for some reason, I never stop buying orange fabric.
What a great pattern! And no, I couldn't NOT smile when I saw all that happy orange.
