I'm always on the lookout for fast and easy patterns for my kids' charity quilts. And, when I saw this quilt, I was inspired to try to make my own. It not only looked fast and easy to make, but it also used fabric with a Dia De Los Muertos print similar to one in my stash.
I searched for a pattern but didn't find one so I created my own. But I have not been 100% happy with my top since I saw it on my design wall. I think the printed squares are too small which I cut at 4.5". Now that I see it displayed I'm thinking the squares should be larger, maybe 5.5". I'll have to go back to the drawing board for the next one.
This is the first quilt ever that I quilted using an edge-to-edge pantograph. I got the nerve to try after watching a YouTube video. It's not perfect but now that it's quilted, I feel much better about my Dia De Los Muertos charity quilt.
The quilt measures 42" x 52". It has a polka dot sheet for the backing, and I used a low-loft polyester batting. I'm adding it to the donation pile for Project Linus.
