Nice little leaf. Be mindful that there wasn’t a full 1/4 edge when finished.

This is a cute and simple pattern, and the only one for a matryoshka that I can find.

I haven’t made this quilt yet, still gathering fabric scraps. I’m hoping this will be a scrap buster!

This is a cute pattern - as always, well designed and good diagrams for construction. I’ve noticed more AI generated patterns recently, and all the ones I’ve tried have been inaccurate. Hence, it’s more important than ever to support good pattern designers like Thimbles and Needles.

Love the way this goes together. Can be worked in so many creative colour ways. I am repeat working it in scrappy greens as part of borders on a large landscape quilt.
