The quilt uses just two blocks, and, although they appear as if they're on point, they are not. All it consists of is HSTs and squares.
I love that spot as well for quilt shots! It's just a few doors down from the hotel, at one of our optometrist's in town. I used the concrete green tape to stick it onto the metal sign which is one of several murals done by various artists in the Arts Society of Kingsville. I actually bought a mug from them with this mural on it as it has special meaning for me.
Sorry that screenshot has come in a little blurry. The pattern will be 25% off through our August long weekend. Most provinces and territories have a holiday Monday of some sort, so although I didn't originally plan it to release on a long weekend, it works out perfectly. I keep all my patterns at $12CA except for Rainbow Neighbourhood which is a huge pattern with four projects, so it's $14. So Tinker Toys is on sale until Monday at midnight for just $9CA.
Here's another shot of the throw:
And of course the cushion/pillow cover:
I spent a good amount of time in July working on the instructions for another design which I can't show you yet as it will be in an issue of Make Modern next year. Now that that is pretty much done, I plan to focus on writing up directions for two quilts I designed in the annual Project Quilting challenge. I also have pulled a couple of USO's (Un-Started Objects), one of which is almost at the flimsy stage. I have been feeling another emotion-quilt project prodding me over the past few weeks, so I may succumb to that once this USO flimsy is complete.
Happy long weekend if you're so lucky to have one. I hope you'll pop over to check out Tinker Toys! Susan in Australia made the quilt a little while back and sent me a photo:
She is another quilter who has quilted along with me for many of my annual Quilt Alongs.💖 She followed a similar colour scheme to the magazine quilt, but look at her fussycut centres! Great idea!
