Portals from Quilt Modern Curves & Bold Stripes

In honor on my friend Yvonne, Quilting Jet Girl, I've decided to share more of my Portal Quilt in the post.  Yvonne recently posted a book review for Daisy and my book Quilt Modern Curves & Bold Stripes.

Along with a quick book review Yvonne is sponsoring a book giveaway!  Go to Yvonne's site and follow the link to enter the giveaway.  One lucky winner will receive a copy of Quilt Modern Curves & Bold Stripes!

My Portal quilt has a great subtle stripe in the background and a great sci-fi theme.  Each of the green portal blocks are closed but there is one open portal block. It's a fun quilt to design especially for my nerdy, Star Trek TOS loving, self.

This was one of the harder quilts in the book for me to make.  It's not the most technically difficult but there were so many strip sets to make.

That is why this quilt is perfect for a printed stripe!  When I made the printed stripe alternative I used a high contrast stripe and my favorite PINK.

Along with Yvonne's review and giveaway both Jo Avery and Minki Kim made a posted on Instagram quilt blocks inspired by Daisy and my book!  Both ladies also have books with C&T Publishing's Stash Book division.

I hope you will take a second to read Yvonne's book review and enter the giveaway on her blog.  Yvonne's a fabulous modern quilter and so encouraging.  She and her work are definitely inspirational.
