    Default Bonnie Hunter's pattern revised for me :)

    Whilst I am making the Sweet Caroline quilt http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...y-t275087.html because there are not too many opportunties to do chain peicing I have been using up my 2" squares to make another quilt, thanks Bonnie

    I have used her http://quiltville.blogspot.co.uk/201...tern-time.html but made it a Dancing 16 Patch, as I have so many and I want a large quilt. I have also changed the sashing fabric from 1.5" to 2" as the squares are bigger. I am using a sunny yellow fabric as I don't want to use up my white on whites as I need them so much for other quilts that I have in the pipeline, what is your opinions ladies?

    I love the way you modified the pattern! I just finished the top of a 100 Patch quilt and have a large box of the 2" squares left over. I may try your modification, if you don"t mind. Thanks for the great idea. Your sunny yellow sashing looks perfect with the blocks.

    No problem, there was another reason that I chose the yellow, I don't have many yellows in 2" squares whereas I do have a lot of white and didn't want to see white blocks against white sashing it spoils the crispness of the sashing, if you get my meaning ?!

    The yellow is going to brighten up this quilt. Good Luck.
