Fellow Island Batik ambassador, Denise Looney, offered a free sew-a-long to her St. Paddy’s quilt. Each week was free, and then you had to purchase it for a small amount. You can get the pattern on her blog “A Quiltery.”
I used a variety of Island Batik greens from the “Sandalwood” collection. “Ice” was the background fabric. The pattern is paper pieced. It’s a fairly simple pattern, but it took me AGES to make all the blocks. (And yes, I was working on 2 other quilts at the same time!). Unfortunately, I only took this one progress picture.

I decided to only do the centre medallion because I wanted it for a topper on my piano. I’m really impressed with how pretty it is!!! Thank you, Denise!
