Today I get to share a big first for me - my first quilt pattern published in a print magazine. My quilt appears in
Stitch, Spring 2012. It is very cool to see it in print, as I haven't seen it since I mailed it away in August. When I get the quilt back, I'll take lots of photos to show you the incredible quilting
Angela did on it. I'm sorry to see that the magazine seems to have overlooked giving her credit as the quilter, but anyone who sees this quilt will know someone amazing worked on it. More pics to illustrate that soon.
Now that you've seen it in two different color ways, I hope you're thinking of how it might look in your own fabrics. This modified shoo fly block uses stitch and flip corners to reduce the number of pieces and seams in each block. If you choose, you can create HSTs from the trimmed corners and make a baby quilt with them,
like I did. This block is oversize, so it's great for fat quarters and larger scale prints. The quilt finishes at 60 x 90. I'd love to see what you make from the pattern.
Update: This pattern is now available as
an individual pattern download, and it's on sale!
