I designed it about a year ago for Sew Hip magazine and, since then, have enjoyed seeing versions of it here and there.
I've also gotten a fair number of inquiries from folks wanting to know how to get a copy of the pattern. Apparently finding copies of this British magazine is not easy here in the States and purchasing back issues is near impossible.
Seeing as the pattern is very difficult to come by, I've decided to update the pattern with my own edits and illustrations so that I can offer it for sale in my store.
My first step, however, has been to remake the quilt. I'd given the original away as a gift to a friend so I needed a new version to both refresh my memory on how to make the quilt and for photography purposes.
I stayed with the original color palette, lots of low volume fabrics and various shades of "whites" to give this version the clean, modern feel that the original had.
I've got the top all pieced and all that's needed is some backing, batting, and a bit of quilting. Then I'll add the illustrations and the pattern will be ready.
My release date is next Wednesday, August 4 and I'll be celebrating it with a little pattern giveaway. So, if you think you'd like a chance to win a copy of the pattern or you'd just like to see the finished quilt, check back then.

Love this - do love the clean, modern look of it!
This is so lovely!! I'm looking forward to the pattern.
Very pretty quilt - I like the colors of this quilt too :)
Malka, this is good news indeed! I loved your pattern so much, but it was so hard to get hold of. Thank you for remaking the quilt and selling this as a pattern!

I LOVE this quilt, so fresh!
You have designed a very fresh quilt - I would love to see it in some dramatic bold colours too! Thanks for the chance to win your pattern.
Thank you for this! I have mightily admired Rita's two incarnations of Strips and Bricks, and was coming to the conclusion that I was going to have to try and make it up myself! Can't wait to get my hands on the pattern!!
I love the colour theme of this quilt Malka, it's so restful :) Look forward to seeing it when it's quilted!
I love this quilt, it's so great you're making a pattern to buy.
Could it be an idea if you made custom fabric bundles with your own fabric for this pattern?
Yay great news! I love this quilt- looking forward to the pattern!
It does have a lovely fresh clean modern look. Well done on a great pattern.
Lovely! The soft colors are beautiful. As wonderful as color is, sometimes it is nice to have a more restful quilt!
very nice. i almost have my batik box complete. now all i need is a used electric fry pan.....
Love the quilt! I would like to make it in a baby quilt size to use up some of my stash!
I saw Red Pepper Quilts had made this quilt just a short while ago but I didn't know it was your design.I Love it and am glad you are making it available for others to use.
Yay! I was unable to find the pattern, too (glad to know now that it wasn't just me...). It's so lovely - thanks for re-publishing it!
I am looking for my magazine - just so inspired by your quilt.
Ooh, Can't wait to create one like this!! Great pattern! Will check back for chance to win it!
