Help with this pattern
one of my friends sent me this photo - it looks like a relatively easy quilt to make - I'd just like to find a pattern and review it.
Anyone seen this photo in your quilting magazines??

Looks like you could snowball the patches on two corners (with an added black piping or narrow strip). Then cut diagonally and piece the square in square blocks. Add narrow black sashing. That's how'd do it.
Or for two at once you could do it as a strip quilt and use the opposite side triangles for the back or for another quilt.

I would think of a tube quilt myself. sew three fabrics into strips, one wide one, the skinny black and the colorful one. then cut with a 60 degree triangle (think 60 degree). looks great. draw it out or try in scraps and see how it goes.

That would be very easy to paper piece ... and very easy to draw the paper pieces yourself with the aid of Word or Excel.
Each block is made up of 4 triangle units. Each unit has 3 fabrics - center blue triangle, thin black border, and wide neutral. You can draw this triangle easily and make as many copies as needed ... and whatever size you want.
Once you've made all the triangle units - sew four of them together and use that narrow black stripe to match your units. Because you will be working with bias edges I would keep the paper on the triangle units until after you've joined them into a square.
Bear in mind that you will need some half square finished blocks for the side triangles because this pattern is set on point.
Once you have the squares completed, remove the paper and add the sashing.
It's a very pretty quilt.

KarenK, thanks for that link and Kehoeta, thanks for showing the photo and asking about it. I cannot figure out why I have become so attracted to these modern quilts. I am not modern and I like nature designs but somehow I love the quilt in that photo. It would make a great guy quilt too. Yep, saving this link.
