simply stated

I've never met a pattern I didn’t like. In fact, I've never met a pattern I didn't want to chop up and combine with more patterns to create a larger bordering-on-too-much-but-just-balanced-enough super medley of pattern.

But when I saw this Japanese oil cloth at Purl, I immediately realized the best way to honor the delicate repeat was to leave it alone. A simple turned hem on each side easily transformed two yards of fabric into an elegant tablecloth.
