Chevron style

I tried a new pattern -- one which I saw posted on YOUTUBE -- and it uses a very handy pre-cut called a layer cake.  A layer cake is 10" squares precut from one line of design, so you get a sample of every fabric design in one line -- for example Moda design "Bear Country" hilighting Bearenstein Bears.  For my design, I used a charm pack which is 5" squares precut so my quilt turned out much smaller.  I made it a bit bigger so it would be a lap size or crib size quilt.  I hand quilted it and I think it turned out pretty good.
