Fiesta Lap Quilt
One of the new fabric lines by Michael Miller that made its debut at Quilt Market this fall is Fiesta. I love the warm Southwestern vibe, captured so beautifully in these Michael Miller mood boards.
The chocolate colour way really caught my eye and inspired me to create an easy lap quilt.
Whether you look at it vertically, as above, or horizontally, the way I was working on it, I hope you can sense the arrow inspiration.
I quilted it very simply, with straight lines, and cut the binding fabric to look like a row of tiny arrow heads, though tiny hearts are probably what jump out more.
I have written up a free downloadable pattern if you would like to create one yourself. Just hop on over to the Michael Miller website right here.
