Edited to Add: Isabel Moore is our winner. Congrats Bella! I loved hearing all your suggestions for names for the pair of dachshunds. You guys are clever, clever. Bella voted to name the doxies “Rascal” and “Flatts”. Hehe! The actual names of the doggie babies are Theobold and Walter. Theo is the black one and Wally is the white one. 🙂 Love. It. This has been the best giveaway prompt!
This issue of ModBlock is now available at Missouri Star Quilt Company.

(Special Note: Ack! This post published itself a bit too early! Oh well, let’s run with it. The ModBlock issues are supposed to be available for purchase later March, and well it is late March. Thanks for your patience with the dates! On with the post…)
Hi guys!
Exciting news! I’ve got a new quilt pattern in the latest issue of ModBlock, from Missouri Star Quilt Company.
In the magazine you’ll find my quilt, Ancient Radiation, along with 9 other quilt patterns by the other fantabulous designers. Isn’t that cover quilt so cute? It’s by Amy Smart.
This is Ancient Radiation and it’s a lovely combination or two of my favorite things: rainbows and triangle quilts.
I could not resist making a new rainbow quilt for this issue of ModBlock, which has the theme “Harmony”. What’s more harmonious than a rainbow. With this rainbow, I tried to pair some bolder colors, Sangria, with some softer colors for an ethereal feel. All the colors are Kona cotton by Robert Kaufman.
I completely love the pictures MSQCo took. They are fantastic. And the pictures throughout the rest of the magazine are equally as lovely. You can nearly feel the texture of all the fabric and quilts.
Personally, I think the obvious, best part of the photography are the handsome dachshunds. Love them! Aren’t they cute? I wish I knew their names! Ok, let’s come up with names for those rascals…
