A Wedding Quilt for Joseph and Annie

Despite the fact that it's 9:30 in the morning here in CST, my new pattern is ready for prime time. I posted a few teasers about it back in November, but today I'm ready to release the pattern as well as post additional pictures.
First, some information about the quilt and pattern. I'm calling this A Wedding Quilt for Joseph and Annie partly because the design was inspired by an amazing creative couple, Joseph and Annie Albers, pioneers in post World War II design and painting and partly because at 69" x 69", it's a perfect size to cuddle under. Though I've read a lot about Joseph and Annie Albers, I can't attest to how much cuddling they did, but I'm all for encouraging that.  

The pattern is fully illustrated and includes something that may be unique to quilt patterns. I actually thought of it because I'm a knitter. It struck me that all knitting patterns include information about the yarn used in the sample. This is included despite the fact that gauge is listed as well. I think the assumption is, and it's often correct, that a lot of knitters might want to use that exact yarn, maybe even in the same color, so they'd like to know what to buy. Listing exactly what fabrics were used in a given quilt might not always be practical, especially with a quilt that has lots of different fabrics or focuses on scraps, but in this design, where the sample was made entirely out of Kona cottons, listing the specific colors based on the Kona color card seemed like a handy addition.

 Obviously, you can use these colors or not. That's still up to you, but I thought you might want the information and it was simple enough to include, so there you have it.

I'll probably work up a second sample in a totally different color palette because this simple design really lends itself to playing with color.

I'm also offering two different purchase options. You can go to my Etsy store and purchase it there or click on this cute little button in the right-hand sidebar and that will take you directly to Paypal.
Also, because I'm super excited about this pattern, I'm giving away two copies of the pattern to a couple of lovely readers. So, if you'd like to roll the dice on that and see if you're one of the lucky winners, leave a comment and I'll select a pair of winners. I'll take comments through Tuesday at 8:00pm CST and announce the winner on Wednesday.

See you then!
