Check Plus in Quilty Magazine

Way back in May, the blog went a little quiet because I was working on some secret sewing.  

 I am happy to be able to introduce, Check Plus, a lap sized quilt for November/December 2014 issue of Quilty Magazine (The pattern may also be downloaded as a stand alone pattern from Quilty here).  

 This is my first quilt published in a magazine so I am very excited!

Check Plus is a fun, beginner friendly plus in a plus quilt using some of the prints from April Showers by Bonnie and Camille for Moda on a background of Kona Snow.  

 I quilted Check Plus in a diagonal pattern and finished off the quilt with a diagonal striped binding.

 I made a fun pieced backing for the quilt using one plus block and some Kona Fog.  I think that I might actually like the back better than the front :)



I am also linking up to Link a Finish Friday, Whoop Whoop Friday, Thank Goodness Its Finished Friday, Finish It Up Friday, Fabric Frenzy Friday,  Sewjo @ My Go Go Life, and Show Off Saturday @ Sew She Can.

    Congratulations! It turned out beautifully and I agree, the back is fantastic as a minimalist pattern and I like how you matched the hanging sleeve. I'll keep an eye out for that issue
