Day 5 ++ Modern Plus Sign Quilts Book Hop ++ Row Addition and Transparency Chains

Welcome to the fifth day of the Modern Plus Sign Quilts book hop!   Today, we will be sharing Row Addition and Transparency Chains as well as hosting a giveaway of two charm packs.


Row Addition


Row Addition was one of the first designs and Paige and I came up with when we were brainstorming quilt patterns for the book.  It is the prefect design for a quick baby quilt sized finish and the design can look so different using different prints and colors.

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

Myra and Izzy used the Row Addition pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their blogs...

Transparency Chains


Transparency Chains came together as a marriage of the plus sign design and a traditional Irish Chain design.  I quilted this quilt on the Bernina sit down longarm machine at my local Bernina shop, Bernina..We're in Stitches with a large allover paisley swirl design.

The fabrics came from Cloud 9 fabrics, the batting was Warm & White, and Aurifil threads were used for the piecing and quilting.

Ruth and Christa used the Transparency Chains pattern to make some new quilts and items, please check out their versions...

  4. Both quilts look great, but my favorite of these two is the Transparency Chains. I'll be happy to get caught up on a few UFOs, so I can make a pattern or two from this book.
