Pattern Testing - Squared Off

Cindy @ Stitchin at Home has released a new pattern, and I tested it for her.  You can see Cindy's version here.  The pattern is available for sale here at Craftsy.

My version is the baby size.  I used Kona Lagoon, Chartreuse, Highlight, and White.


The colours don't appear as rich as they truly are...daylight is quickly disappearing earlier and earlier each day.


Simple straight line quilting.  I decided to take the quilting into the border because I didn't want to tie off and cut any threads.  But I love the pattern the lines created in the border.


Giveaway - Leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of Cindy's new pattern.  Head over to Cindy's blog for a second chance to win.  The giveaway is open until midnight Thursday, August 31.

    What a difference just changing colors does to the quilt. Not sure which one I like best!

    Hi Anja,
    What a beautiful quilt! I just love the fabrics and colors you chose. I agree with the straight line quilting - it enhances the quilt just perfectly. ~smile~ Roseanne

    lovely I steer away from plain fabrics though as my quilting is not good enough and mistakes show too clearly one day I will make a solids quilt

    I love the blue and white with a touch of green/yellow - very striking! Such a different look than the one Cindy made. And the quilting is perfect! Nice finish Anja!

    That's a great looking quilt - bright and cheerful, even in the fading sunlight. How nice that she's giving away a copy of the pattern. Thanks to both of you. dezertsuz at gmail
