Had a pattern on paper. Taped pattern to window, put black fabric over, and traced with a white chalk pencil. Cut out, basted under seam allowance, and sewed to quilt.

Fabulous quilt!!!!!! I love the way the straight lines change direction. It gave a wonderful texture and that little detail to find and enjoy.

Spray basted quilt and machine stitched in ditch around small triangles and borders. The rest is hand quilted, which is why it took so long.
