| A preview of my black and white quilt. |
Why this pattern?
I wanted to create a suitable 'next step' quilt for the Beginner Quilt Along participants. Something with slightly more interesting techniques, but still simple enough not to be intimidating. It absolutely had to have half-square triangles (HSTs) as they are my bestest friend forever in quilting.
Why black and white?

| I love HSTs!!! |
To be honest, the black and white was an accident. I was playing around with a few different colour schemes and couldn't quite get the balance I wanted of pretty yet uncomplicated. I threw black and white into my draft because I wanted to see the contrasting blocks. I had planned on then experimenting with colour, but, it looked so great I simply had to go with it.
Don't worry if you're not a fan of black and white. It actually looks pretty funky in a range of colours. I'm already planning red and white, and I think Pepper is eyeing off a pink and white one.

When can I get my hands on this awesomeness?
Woah there cowboy. The pattern won't be ready for a few weeks yet. I'm hoping to use this as a kind of global test for my future patterns. I really want to make sure it's correct before I release it. I'm then hoping for a lot of feedback to help me ensure my future patterns are exactly what you want. Follow my blog via email, using the email box on the right-hand side, and you will be notified when the pattern is released. Alternatively, you can follow me on bloglovin.
Did you say free?
Um, no...but it will be. As I said, I will be using this as a test run for future patterns. By providing feedback you are helping me just as much as I will have helped you. It's a circle of life thing.
