Chicopee Square Quilt

I've got another magazine quilt pattern out there! This is "Chicopee Square," and on newsstands now in the April/May issue of Quilt Magazine. 

You might remember my Cathedral Square block, which originally appeared in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks special issue. Same design, new fabric—and a lot more of the blocks. : ) 

I think the design translates well to Denyse Schmidt's Chicopee line. I love the rich, bold colors in this line! The plaids are some of my favorite prints in the line, and think they serve really well here as neutral frames for the bright, fun four-patches. 

This quilt was quilted for my by Cindy Fenske, who is a fellow member of the Milwaukee Modern Quilt Guild. She came up with the fabulous quilting design, which included swirls in the negative space and a fun vintage-y pansy in the middle of each four-patch.

So pick up a copy of Quilt magazine—I found one at Barnes & Noble. This issue focuses on color, so there are lots of bright patterns to peruse, including a six-pointed star pattern. Enjoy!
