I've tested quilt patterns for Kelly Renay many times now. Her patterns are always so well done with fantastic instructions and illustrations. Her patterns can be complicated and have tiny pieces, but always have a beautiful and intricate final result. Others are whimsical and fun. This one is - different. It may even look a bit chaotic. It is Utter Chaos.
I elected to use 5" squares. I used a combination of charm packs (no whole one, but partial ones I had in my stash), random 5" squares from who knows where, and I cut many 5" squares from my scraps using my Tim Holts Vagabond 2 Sizzix Machine.
I've been wanting a colorful quilt that I can use outside without fear. This quilt is going to be perfect because it is so busy that any stain that it may possible get will disappear into the pattern and colors. Our neighborhood often has cookouts and there is never enough seats. I can't wait to take this quilt with me to spread out on the ground to enjoy the next picnic.
This pattern was so fun to make and it is really quite simple. As I laid the piece out I thought it might be fun to modify the layout slightly and might have to make another in the future playing with the blocks a bit more. I might also try to do a 4 color version next.
