I am really fond of this quilt pattern. It is very simple, it is made up of 5 inch blocks made into two triangles. To make the actual geometric pattern the idea is to use a light and dark property on each block. Arranging the blocks is key, as you see the blocks form a geometric shape that is not necessarily visible up close. The pattern takes shape the further away you are! I find this an interesting illusion. I purchased the fabrics here in Wales. They were sold in a pack of 10 inch squares. The prints are very tradition, cross stitch hearts, spools of thread, scissors and pins, etc. The colors are also neutral, in shades of red, grey, black and beige. I am thrilled with the finished product. I could have chosen to stay strictly tradition and simply pieced the quilt into small or large squares, but I am extremely happy with this modern geometric quilt!
