The best way to de-stash before an international move is have a family member have a special birthday and be determined to make a special handmade present while you are packing! I'm not sure if it was good therapy or plain stupidity. It's the most fun I've had making a quilt though - I call it my de-stash, free-style, mash-up of goodness. Sorry if your eyeballs are hurting, my niece LOVES colour...
My intention was to use
this pattern for the whole quilt which is stunning but I didn't have the patience for it in my time frame. You can see a block of chevron in the first photo which coincidentally looks like a tree :-)
The back and binding were made from scraps. I had lectured myself on not buying any new fabric for this project but sadly had some big patches to fill in, so I caved. It was the last project I completed with my beautiful sewing gals - I miss Tuesday nights at my place.
