نمط هيدرا كويلت بواسطة لورا بيلاند

The way the fins and scales come together with batiks is just stunning — I used a teal-and-purple palette and it looks like it’s moving underwater. My mermaid-obsessed niece is already begging me to make her one in pink.

The step-by-step instructions are so clear that I had my first block finished in under an hour. I love that it’s designed to work with everything from batiks to solids, so I could raid my stash. Already planning a shark version for my nephew.

I love how the pattern uses batiks, prints, and solids together—the mix really makes the scales pop. The instructions for assembling the rows were clear and easy to follow, even for an intermediate quilter. Already planning a dragon version with different colors.
