Hello KCMQGers! The long awaited pattern launch day is finally upon us! We are so excited to present this pattern set: Fractal Radiance by Katie Larson for the KCMQG!

We asked Katie to tell us about her experience creating the quilt pattern and this is what she had to say:

This pattern originally started as a pillow I made for my friend Lindsay who likes bold colors and patterns. I liked the way it turned out so much that I decided to enlarge it as a small quilt for myself. It was a challenge to determine how to accurately cut out the large triangles, but I think I came up with a method that works well and isn’t too complicated. I love that it’s simple yet dynamic, and because there aren’t a lot of pieces, it goes together fairly quick. 
I was so excited to find out this design was chosen to become a pattern, and have learned a lot in the process. I hope you enjoy the pattern, and can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Here’s the pillow that started Katie’s process.

And the small quilt that resulted from it:
