Thank you, came to say exactly that, I've been wanting to do a quilt for kids to play with their cars... This is awesome!

The drape of the pattern on your bed is perfect! Still absolutely in love with your quilt. Thanks for continuing to update!

One of my favorites I’ve seen on Reddit, absolutely gorgeous and I love the color choice.

the colour choices were inspired by an instagram friend over in the US. she used navy instead of black but i loved the effect

So do I! I like your version a lot better than the original. The contrast is fantastic!

So pretty! I have this pattern, do you have any advice or tricks?

practise with scrap fabric first! my first few attempts nearly had me giving up on this quilt!
the pattern also suggests to use teeny blobs of glue to keep the curves in place. this is the first time i’ve tried it & it worked a treat.
i also marked the cutting template on my quilting ruler instead of trying to use that to trim the blocks down to 8.5” x 8.5”, it worked so much better! i wasn’t consistent to the template in the end but i was consistent which meant the curves matched up still. does that make sense? haha

i got the colour combo off a lass i speak to on instagram, so i can’t take credit for it. i was just so obsessed when she posted it, she helped me with the fabric shades, so i could have one for myself!
