The pattern...

Anna Maria Horner designed this pattern for Janome, and they have made it available free of charge. You can find the download for the pattern here.  I admit I love this pattern.  It's such a simple, colorful design.  I might have to downsize the templates a bit and use up some of my color wheel charms for this quilt.

It’s going to go a little something like this...

The posts...{Bianca will share how she approached this pattern...}
