Day 4 ++ Modern Plus Sign Quilts Book Hop ++ Postage Plus and Rick Rack Runner

Welcome to the fourth day of the Modern Plus Sign Quilts book hop!   Today, we will be sharing Postage Plus and Rick Rack Runner as well as hosting a giveaway of some fabulous thread (sponsored by Aurifil).

Postage Plus

Postage Plus is a great pattern to use up some of your 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" squares (these squares can come from a precut or from your scraps). 

For this version of Postage Plus, I used Kona Cotton solid scraps in blues and greens and paired them with some Kona white and Essex Linen yard dyed in black stripes. Warm & White batting from the Warm Company and Aurifil thread were also used.

Linda, Bernie, Liz, and Stacey used the Postage Plus pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their blogs...

Rick Rack Runner

Do you have a layer cake in your stash?  If yes, Rick Rack Runner is the perfect pattern for it.  The runner is great for a dining room table or at the end of a bed and is easy sized up and down to fit your furniture.

The fabrics came from Moda fabrics, the batting was Warm & White, and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing and quilting.

Michelle, Patty, and Melanie used the Rick Rack pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their versions...
