Trunk Show Thursday–3/10/11

Today I thought I’d share my original Magical Slice and Dice.  This was the very first one I made and it’s really striking in person, it’s my very, very favorite.  Unfortunately, after I wrote the pattern and started taking photographs for the cover I realized a black and white quilt just doesn’t show well for a cover photo, it looks kind of flat.  So my Feeling Groovy (by Robert Kaufman) became the “star”.

And a few close-ups of some of the individual blocks.

As you can see, Magical Slice and Dice is a four-patch kaleidoscope but the uniqueness comes from how it is turned on point creating the set-in and corner triangles without ever cutting a triangle.  

Here’s a picture of the cover photo.

You can see that the black and white quilt got relegated to the chair, Boo Hoo! 

Enjoy,
