Olive and Nell Quilt Pattern PDF

Great,well written and very easy to understand pattern

I have not begin to make but reading the instructions seem clear and straight forward! Looking forward to using up a large scrap pile of left over fabrics!

When making this pattern, it's probably best to make a bunch of nine patch blocks in various colors. Making these is slow going. Then I cut my background fabric out of yardage. Then I make those blocks with the larger squares after I've made the small nine patch blocks. You feel like you are making great progress when adding those larger blocks to the other varied color smaller blocks. I can see why Jo saw this and considered it an heirloom quilt. It has got a scrappy look to it that I just love. But you shouldn't think of it as something you can make in a weekend....its more of a longer term project. I have other projects going at the same time I'm working on this one. I make a few of the 9 patch blocks each day. Adding the larger block with the larger squares is icing on the cake. It makes a lovely quilt.
