This quilt has been literally decades in the making. I’ve had my Anne of Green Gables fabric sitting in my stash for 20+ years (ancient, honestly), because I loved it—but I could never find the right pattern. Then I spotted three free Tilda patterns (Daydreamer, Windy Day, and Hen House) and it was a total lightning-bolt moment. In this video I walk you through my fabric pull, how I’m planning to make two quilts (one for me and one for my “bosom friend”), and how I chose background, skin tones, and hair colours—yes, including the eternal quest for the “right” Anne-red. From there, it’s all about construction: tiny 1 1/2" half square triangles for hair (adorable, but you have to slow down), keeping blocks accurate by trimming and squaring up early, and managing a pattern with tons and tons of pieces without losing your mind. I also share my scrappy, anti-waste tricks—like cutting 1" sew-and-flip corners from leftover triangle offcuts—because I started to panic about running out of background fabric. Finally, I try half rectangle triangles for the first time, troubleshoot pencil marks and marking strategy, and even experiment with a “two-from-one” approach to reduce waste (spoiler: it gets a little geometry-ish, so I cheat with a paper template). By the end I’ve got 16 big, beautiful blocks and a layout plan—these girls are huge at 25 1/2" unfinished—plus a few personal touches that make the whole Anne project feel extra special.
