New Pattern Published!!!

So so excited...

1. Island Batik's Fall/Winter 2021catalog is out!!!  AND I am in it, not only as an Ambassador but also as a Pattern Designer. My new pattern Masala Box is featured in the catalog. 

2. Masala Box is now listed in my Etsy Shop :-) It looks like a happy dance of colorful fabrics.

Listed!!!


When I made the quilt "Beg, Borrow and Barter" in March 2021 as a part of the Island Batik Scrapbuster Challenge, little did I know what was to come next.  Some of you asked - what pattern did you use, do you have a pattern...

Paul, the model!


I am so grateful to all my pattern testers who made the pattern and shared their completed tops and their generous feedback with me, so I could fine-tune the pattern. 

Thank you to Elizabeth and Shirley, who made the baby size.

While my sweet and kind pattern testers were busy, I made a baby quilt using a black background.

Baby Size

It looks lovely in all sizes and I am very happy with it. 

The pattern is ideal to use as a signature block, perfect for a wedding or a graduation quilt. 

If you like it, please head to my Etsy Shop, or just click on the image on the top right of the blog. I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties, see full list on the sidebar.

  19. What a cute picture of Paul! Love seeing this pattern in so many different color ways. It looks like a great scrap buster, no? And the look is so different depending on the background color selected. You know my favorite part is all of that negative space for quilting! So fun. Congratulations on your pattern release and catalog feature!
