I have a soft spot for my Nuts and Bolts pattern. It was a very early quilt design that I created in order to play with color value. A perfect pattern to focus on really understanding light and dark color value and not having to worry about fussy construction. If you are looking for a good basic pattern to really make your own, with your favorite prints, this one is the one to start with.
