Welcome to the third day of the Modern Plus Sign Quilts book hop! Today, we will be sharing Plus Surround and Kaleidoscope Plus as hosting a giveaway of a fun handmade pincushion.
Plus Surround
Plus Surround is lap sized design that Paige designed, pieced, and quilted with a bulls eye-like effect of plus signs. Plus Surround was juried into QuiltCon 2018 and hung in the modern traditional category.
The fabrics came from Cotton & Steel and Robert Kaufman, the batting was Warm & White, and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing and quilting.
Jayne, Jen, and Abigail used the Plus Surround pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their blogs...

Kaleidoscope Plus
Kaleidoscope Plus is a paper pieced design that combines a traditional kaleidoscope design with plus signs for this interlocking circle pattern. I love how paper piecing allows for different angles as compared to traditional piecing.
The fabrics came from Robert Kaufman (mostly Blueberry Parks by Karen Lewis), the batting was Warm & White, and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing and quilting.
Yvonne, Sandra, and Karen used the Kaleidoscope Plus pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their versions...
