I started this quilt on March 9th, 2022 and just finished
it yesterday, June 1st, 2022. I somehow even talked my husband into going
into the hills by our house yesterday to help me get some photos.
This is my second Boxy quilt. It's such a quick, easy pattern to make!
The first one I made was in really bright fabrics so I wanted
to see what a softer version would look like.

Plus I had these two Dover charm packs (by Brenda Riddle Designs for Moda)
in my stash that I thought would be perfect for this pattern!
The pattern calls for charm packs + solids but instead of using
solids this time, I pulled a bunch of coordinating print fabrics from
my stash to make it extra scrappy!
The blocks are fun to make and very beginner-friendly.
Someone even suggested using a fussy cut fabric in the center
of the blocks and I think that would be a wonderful touch!
This pattern would be perfect in any colorway!
It comes with instructions for twin, queen, and king-size quilts.
The edge-to-edge quilting panto is called Moulin Rouge
and my friend Jen Ostler (@drycreekquilter on Instagram) quilted
it for me. I actually let her surprise me with the design
because I couldn't decide between that and another more
geometric design. I think this turned out beautiful!
I had all of the fabric in my stash except for the binding fabric
(which is the aqua floral from the Dover line).
The background fabric is a cream linen fabric and the
backing is a cream and black plaid woven fabric that
I had in my stash for years!! Glad I finally found a use for it!
