Trade Winds by Georgette Dell'Oreo

This free pattern, offered by Hoffman Fabrics, features Hoffman's new Bali Pops - 2-1/2" strips of Bali Batiks! The wonderful movement that the batiks give compliment this pattern and make it a great choice for many color ways. The throw ( 63" x 70" ) is simple to assemble and can be made even easier with the use of the Strip Tube Ruler. You'll want to make one for every season!

Henry Glass & Co. is offering a great pattern by The Buggy Barn, In The Pink 2, featuring the Henry Glass fabric line by the same name. The quilt, 64 5/8" by 78 3/4" is fat quarter friendly and makes excellent use of Marti Michell's Large Kaleido Ruler to give the illusion of circles when all seams are straight. This would be a fun pattern to feature some of your machine quilting, too, either long arm or by sewing machine with stencils or GoldenThreads Quilting Paper. Have fun!
