Today I am so super excited to share a secret finish that I made at the beginning of the year!! I had so much fun making this quilt in all its simple piecing goodness and I want to make it again and again. It's called Nature Walk and I just love it!!!

And it can be found in the
Fall 2022 edition of Better Homes & Gardens' Quilts and More Magazine :) And I got a fun surprise when I opened my copy . . . It has multiple size options added to it. So you can actually make this quilt in the original lap size, or a mini size, or a baby size, or a twin size. How awesome is that!!!

This original Natures Walk finishes at 60" x 72" so it is a great size to snuggle up with a good book :) And don't you just love how on an angle it creates new secondary patterns that you didn't see before. X or Plus, you decide :) You are going to love making this quilt!!
Nature Walk is
Fat Quarter Friendly. I used a
Slow Stroll Fat Quarter Bundle by
Fancy That Design House for Moda Fabrics. I absolutely love these fabrics, and I especially love the colors!!! It was so fun to arrange my blocks transitioning from warm to cool. It really is what made this design just shine!!! And the nice thing is, since it is
Fat Quarter friendly, you can just grab a bundle for whatever size you want to make :)
When it came time to quilt mine, I wanted to take advantage of the perfect horizontal lines created in the piecing . . . and of course, that means L and E!!! I just love quilting this fun little design, reminds me of doodling in elementary. And I just love the added texture it gives!!!
And I always love a good flat image!!! It just really shows off the transition in the colors and again, tilt your head slightly and you get a whole new secondary design. So cool!!! Yup, I totally want to sit in front of that fire wrapped up in this quilt, and it came home this week, so now I can :)
