Modern By the Yard – Summer Splash

sarah • June 13, 2017 • 18 Comments

I'm so excited to share that my first magazine pattern is out today in Modern By the Yard, the free quarterly e-zine by Benartex. I had a great time working with a bright summer palette of blues that made me think of relaxing by the pool. I hope you enjoy my graphic mini quilt pattern. Please share pictures if you make one. You can use #sarahgoerquilts on social media.

When I created my quilt I wanted to feature that navy dot fabric without cutting it up, which led to some interesting construction methods. ;-) I chose dense quilting using a variety of motifs in the white sections to really make the blues pop!

I hope you enjoy this latest issue of Modern by the Yard. Head over the Sew in Love with Fabric for previews of all the projects and a link to the full issue which you can view online or download as a PDF. This beautiful cover quilt was created by Alison from Little Bunny Quilts.
