We are excited to share our two new patterns - A's Triangles and Break of Day. Each pattern has detailed fabric requirements, clear instructions, and diagrams.
A's Triangles is a bold geometric pattern using strips that frame a center triangle. The blocks go together quickly, and those pieces that are trimmed are used in the border. What a fun way to use your scraps, or create a palette of your choice. The pattern is for a 42" x 43" quilt or wall hanging, but it can be easily modified to create a larger quilt.
Break of Day is an easy strip-based quilt. It can be elegant or playful depending on the choice of fabrics and colors. We used a jelly roll of black and white fabrics for framing units, Asian-inspired focus fabrics, and a selection of contrasting color for the fractured blocks. The pattern will make a 44-3/4" 53-1/2" quilt.
Both patterns can be purchased at Over The Rainbow:
Patterns are also available in the Here2ThereArt at Etsy shop.
Does anyone have recommendations for a travel iron -- one you own and use? I know Clover makes a mini iron, but I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for. I want something I can take on vacation to iron seams, if necessary, or to iron pieces for applique in the hotel. Any tips? (Small is necessary.)
