If you’re ready to start a new quilt but unsure which of my patterns is the best fit for your current skill level or available time, I can help! Each of my botanical quilt designs offers something unique, whether you’re a beginner or a more advanced quilter looking for a new challenge.

I’ve just released my latest quilt pattern ‘Between The Leaves’, and I have no doubt that some of you will be asking how to turn this into a larger quilt, such as a queen size quilt. I’ll give you my quick thoughts on that here.

The original pattern is 93cm wide by 150cm high. That’s reasonably tall and skinny. If I was creating a larger quilt based on this pattern, I would repeat sections of the original design and stitch them together.
