‘DRAGONFLY’ [PART 1] OFFICIAL PATTERN INTRO

Gosh, every single time I look at this block pattern, I get new ideas, see new designs, and I have a new favorite! That might be the reason that this design ended up as an 8 ½” x 11″ booklet full of block sizes, variations, and even more ideas and inspirations at the end. As I worked on the design, I simply could not narrow it down…

• Do I use my favorite precut, the Layer Cake, and make a garden-flavored DRAGONFLY design?
• Do I turn the blocks around a bit, use a smaller block & create a SUMMER WREATH pattern reminiscent of flower garlands & meadow wreaths on little girls’ heads?
• Do I turn toward holiday and Christmas color schemes with either size block and make HOLIDAY WREATHS?
• Or organize my colors a bit more and turn the blocks into Christmas GARLANDS instead?

More on those last 2 in a [PART TWO] blog post! But just know, we are going to do all of the above in this booklet and I sure hope you join me!
