Two of our nieces graduated from college this year. I just gifted one this quilt that is based on the Warrior Quilt by Suzy Quilts . Usually I don't ask for direction on quilts that I make as gifts, but my niece is creative in her own right and I thought she might have an opinion. She asked for Villanova colors. So I purchased come Villanova Wildcats fabric and incorporated that into the quilt pattern. You'll see that my arrangement is different than Suzy Quilts because I was trying to expand to a larger size than the original pattern. I also incorporated some extra half-square triangles into the back that were left over.
I also did a little variations on the edges as if the pattern is starting to deconstruct. Something about this pattern was yearning for variation, so I started picking it apart at the edges.
