I started buying fabrics for my autumn quilt before I actually had a pattern. At first I thought of designing my own, but decided if was to have a chance of ever actually putting needle to thread (or thread to needle?) I needed to stop planning and start making! Looked online for free patterns and found these brilliant free downloads US website Michael Miller Fabrics.

After much deliberation (and use of imagination, because it’s hard to see past the colour scheme shown by the designer), I narrowed it down to a choice of two, then had to ask the other half which he preferred, as I just couldn’t make up my mind! It’s easier to picture when you see the diagram in the instructions and see it depicted in shades of grey, so you can see the patterns within the pattern.
