Check out a variety of Park Bench blocks that quilters have made:

This pattern will be printed in a larger format than my Quilt Patterns. It will be a full color 8 1/2" x 11" Book, just like Toes in the Sand . The Book will include directions on how to make all 8 blocks and assemble the Park Bench twin size quilt.

Take a walk in the Park! This Block of the Month features 8 unique blocks all created with the Sidekick & Hex N More Rulers. There are no pesky Y seams! Each month you'll create two blocks from the same design. Creative fabric placement will make your quilt appear to have 15 different blocks. (Month 8 = 1 Block) (Month 9 = Pieced Background)

This block of the month also has its own hashtag! #ParkBenchQuilt

It was a marathon to get this quilt bound & photographed this week.

I got it done in record time for a twin... just over 3 hours!





Then it was off to shoot the cover. I am so thankful & blessed to have an amazing Fiancé . Lawrence gave up his lunch break to come help me photograph the cover. I couldn't have done it without him.









Here are some photos from our cover shoot.

Our first stop. The background was a bit dark, but you can really see Angela's quilting

Location #2

Still wasn't what I was looking for...

...but did provide a nice setting for some detail photos.

I love how Angela used feathers in the background sections and more graphic designs in the actual blocks.

Finally we found the right spot!! Here I am arranging up the quilt.





Sometimes you need a stunt double.

...and then we got the right shot!! This is my "I'm so happy we got the shot, but so tired from all the binding" face!!

Park Bench will be available January 2014.





I'm currently at Quilt Market & excited to show off this quilt and all of my other quilts! Follow along with me on Instagram or Facebook . Once I'm home I will blog about the show!
