I wrote a pattern! I just released my first pattern to the world! If you remember, this triangle quilt pattern has been on my to do list since January, it was one of my goals for the year. I’ve started two other patterns too, because my brain is on fire, but this is the one I’m most excited about. I first made my Christmas On Point quilt several years ago. Writing this pattern has been on my mind ever since. Then I made a scrappy purple quilt with smaller triangles. And now, a teal and gray version as I worked through the measurements and cutting directions for writing the pattern. I even had some help with the quilting process. Her name is Scout, and she’s a great helper! As I tried to get a photo that could be the pattern cover, I took the quilt on a little walk through the yard, trying to find just the right spot to get a photo. I got smiles from multiple drivers who nearly ran me over while taking the front yard photos. I wasn’t happy with any of the photos. I mean, as a marketable pattern cover. They’re all delightful in their own way. The garden fence might be a good future photo option, if I time it better to catch the light earlier in the day. I particularly like this one with the fountain. But, for a pattern for sale, I ended up going with a general on the floor, all the edges straight photo. Working on quilt pattern front cover photography can be one of my goals for next year. Or at least, finding fun locations for photo shoots. There is a brick school house nearby that I would like to use at some point. I had so much fun with each of these quilts, and they are so simple and easy to make that I even went back and made another On Point quilt- this last time was in blues, greens, blacks and whites. And took it outside as well for another attempt at fun photos. I continue to wait for an amazing snow storm to get a truly appropriate Christmas On Point photo. I don’t know why I didn’t bully a family member into holding it up while I shot photos in the snow on Christmas Day last year. I really should have. Maybe we’ll get lucky enough to have a White Christmas again this year. On Point uses 12 fabrics, 1/3-yard cuts of each fabric. The triangles are equilateral triangles, and no special ruler or tools are needed. Just a cutting mat, rotary cutter and rotary ruler. Seriously, all the same tools you use to make quilts with squares and rectangles will work perfectly for this quilt as well. I will eventually have a shop page here on my blog, but for now, go check out my listing on Etsy! On Point is listed for $10.
