San Julian Island

Finished Size: 60” x 78”

Pattern: San Julian by Villa Rosa

Skill Level: A great pattern for beginners!

Cuts: Pattern calls for 12 FQs for the topper.  I used a combination of fat quarters and yardage that I had in my stash.

Why I like this pattern:  This is a very simple, straightforward pattern, but I think using bold, busy prints makes the quilt visually interesting.  And because it uses larger blocks, there aren’t that many seams to match up, so it goes quicker.  

Notes: I wanted the quilt to be a bit larger, so I added a 3” border. If you are a beginner and you want to use Kaffe fabric, be aware that his fabrics are a bit stretchy, which can make them difficult to work with.  I recommend starching heavily.  (If you want to learn how I starch my fabrics you can watch this video.)
