Castlewood Seven Eights

My quilting shop offered a fun class called Seven Eights which highlighted using a precut jelly roll. I chose Castlewood designed by Jan Patek from Moda Fabrics. By stitching a patchwork border with the leftover pieces from the same line, I was able to make a larger quilt. I decided that using straight line quilting on a diagonal emphasized the design of the quilt. I also used a variety of decorative stitches on my sewing machine to quilt some of the plain sections in the patchwork border. It is a versatile pattern that I would probably try again but in another colorway.
