We are excited to announce that we've released our second Here2There original quilt pattern. Affectionately known as "Cranes," "A's Cranes" is based on a simple half log cabin block which frames a corner focal fabric. Our original was very Asian in feel, and we love the rich tones of it - and had a great time mixing and matching fabrics from our stash to build each block.
"A's Cranes" can be made with a 40-strip jelly roll (noting that you'll have to add the focal fabric and a small amount of scrap fabric for accent strips). Or, dive into your stash and put what you already have to use. (The pattern uses 2 1/2" strips.)
Here's a close up look at blocks in the original:
We are making a pirate themed version of the pattern for a show we're doing in December. As we tested the block with the swashbuckling kid-friendly fabrics, it was wonderful to see the block take on an entirely new vibe.
We also assembled a jelly-roll based kit for the pattern in a colorway that plays with both batiks and an Asian focal fabric.
