You will find, as you get into quilting, some patterns just play on your mind and leave you with no room for anything else. This pattern did that for me. A conversation one night with my mum turned into this quilt less than three days later. Needless to say, I was obsessed!

• Note: Nearly all fabrics used in this quilt are by Art Gallery Fabrics.

Step 1
Pair all 5-inch coloured and BKG sqs. Join to make HSTs. Trim to 41⁄2 inches sq.
Step 2
Divide sqs and HSTs into four even piles. Take one pile and lay out all sqs in a 10 x 10 arrangement using the HSTs to form the edges of an ‘X’ as in the diagram.
Step 3
Join into rows to form one quarter of the quilt. Repeat steps two and three for the remaining three piles of squares. Note: there is a flow of colour in the quadrants, going from pink to orange to yellow to lime to aqua. The low-volume prints are backgrounds of the X.
Step 4
Join quarters as a four-patch to form quilt top. Baste, quilt and bind as desired. I quilted this in concentric circles, 2 inches apart.
