61. Popsicle (Charm Parade)

 Popsicle, my first in a series of quilts that would later be known as Charm Parade.

The pattern is based on this flooring in a local Mexican restaurant.

After making this quilt, I went to Spring quilt market in Portland and talked with Joen Wolfrom in her booth. Charm packs were fairly new to the market and she was looking for patterns that could be made with those 5" squares of fabric. I showed her this design, she told me to make some smaller versions of it, and Charm Parade became my first printed pattern.
