Summer in central Texas comes with its more-than-fair-share of drought & high temps, & we often grow plants that can survive this less-than-hospitable conditions. Personally, I LOVE the heat here, but many plants don’t. Come take a look at my herb garden, if you don’t believe me… So, this pattern was born from my love of all things related to cacti & their less prickly cousins, succulents. You don’t have to live in Texas to love these babies!! This original pattern not only contains full sized paper-piecing templates, but also full & easy instructions for assembly & finishing of your very own quilt. You can have great fun picking out all the luscious greens of the plants & the crazy pots, not to mention picking out sashing & border colors to match your decor. The finished quilt measures 30 square. Don’t want to make it yourself? The sample quilt shown in the photos has been sold but I would love to make another quilt for you. Just send me an email & I will set you up with a listing for a Cacti & Friends quilt with your choice of colors for the sashing & the border.
