Well, I guess I'm a pattern designer. How does this happen you ask? I got a jelly roll of the Kahuna fabric line to plan out a BOM for the shop I work in. The owner asked me to bring it into the store so she could show the fabric to potential BOM participants. Since the roll was out of the packaging, I decided to make it into a quilt top before taking it to the shop. I scoured through my patterns only to find that I didn't have everything I needed for any of them and unfortunately this fabric line isn't released yet, so there was no way I could get any additional fabric. This has happened to me before and its frustrating. I know it is hard to believe, but there are just times when you don't want to (or can't) purchase additional fabric to match.
It was then that I resolved to come up with my own pattern...and I also resolved to come up with several patterns using jelly rolls that don't require background fabric. My goal for the patterns it to be visually interesting, fun to make, and customizable depending on fabric choices. So, here she is, my first pattern...Kwik Kahuna. The pattern is available for sale on my Etsy site.
