      Thanks for including the hexagons. Great idea about leftovers of each project creating a memory blanket.

      Great collection of stash buster patterns - unfortunately the groovy-ghan pattern and all of Marike’s stunning inspirations are gone 😟 Understandably, but regretfully her fabulous website has been closed. She was a beautiful person and will always be missed.

      Even though it says the pattern is no longer available on this website. You can get the unique and awesome Groovy Ghan pattern here: https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/groovy-ghan

      It is simply because the designer passed away and her website no longer functions. But the pattern is still alive and well. Please be sure to share it with your friends.
      @Mooglyblog please update to link to the patterns new location.
