She sent me a copy and I've been playing around with some fabric to see what might look good in this design. I found that this was a pretty easy pattern to select fabric for. Yay! I have purchased a number of fat quarter bundles over the years, which I absolutely love, but I can't bear to break them up. Laura's maximized the use of fat quarters for this project and created a design that showcases the fabrics nicely. Double yay!

And this bundle of Bohemian Rhapsody paired with a red solid that I've been holding onto for that "perfect" project:
Which to try first? Decisions! Decisions!
