Carolynne Floyd Designer / tutorial pattern "Crazy Quilt 2"

Pattern available on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/CarolsBeadyPatterns

Materials used: Toho Aiko Beads
The Aiko beads are a little bit bigger than the Miyuki Delicas so only had to stitch 91 rows - 2 less than I normally do for a coaster. (I find 94 rows with Delicas a tad too big as the beads ripple, lot of designers have 94 rows in their patterns but I and many other beaders do just 93 rows).

The Aiko are FABULOUS! Only one color I had to cull the beads, very regular and WOW. They are expensive, around 30 bucks to make one coaster. (15 grams needed to make a coaster).
This pattern is great for 'Bead Soup' those colors you may not have a lot of which was the reason I used the Aiko as I had gotten some in a bead lot. After using them I wanted more, just a pleasure to work with.
