It's been a while since I last posted on my blog, and I have some new patterns. The very first patterned I designed this year was a horse pattern, because 2014 is the year of the horse. You can accentuate the horse in the pattern by putting a decorative triangular saddle on it and also by selecting slightly different colors for the mane and tail. As a follow-up, I designed a barn to go with the horse pattern. It is a typical barn shape that you would expect, but you can use the center design to make a window (with a peek-a-boo of a horse) or a barn quilt. It is really up to you to play with the pieces. I made two of each pattern and turned them into a little wall hanging quilt. I chose red and blue to be my main colors, yet this quilt would go well with any country style decor.
I designed another really easy pattern: Circus Tent block. My camping tent pattern is a very popular free pattern, so I thought I could add yet another flair to the tent. I tried using primary colors: red, yellow, and blue, and it turned out to be a very cheerful and happy block. It only has 10 pieces in total and took me about 20 minutes to make it. I can see it being used in a quilt for little kids with flying geese or some other fun patterns around it. This pattern is free to download.
