We still have wonderful things to share from Spring Quilt Market and one of those is a fast rising star in the paper-pieceing world David Gilleland of Vectorquilts.com. The first thing you will notice about David is his deep Southern drawl and then you will be knocked over by his giving heart that supports his amazing design work. This guy is the whole package and I could not be more thrilled to call him my friend.
David’s love for Machine Paper Piecing shows and his heart is about teaching you what you need to know to makes any quilt you have ever dreamed of. At Spring Quilt Market David teamed up wth the super-duper folks at Batik Textiles and what came of it was Malachite!
Malachite is an 80×80 stunner created from the line Memo’s From Athena which is Batik Textiles newest collection shown at Spring Market. Using simple shapes in unique and complex ways this quilt comes together with ease based on David’s ability to break down a pattern into very doable sections that are easy to master with his method. David’s pattern is ready for you soon as you open it. No fussy copying or tracing off, with his wonderful piecing layer you are off the races as soon as you get your machine threaded.
The wonderful people at Batik Textiles have been so kind as to send us a complete kit of fabric to make Malachite (top) and that coupled with David’s pattern means that we are ready for a giveaway!!
