It's Magical


Nine patch blocks are quick, easy, and versatile. So many different looks can be achieved by varying color placement and layout. I chose purple, amethyst, and teal colors from the beautiful star print fabric, adding natural muslin for contrast.


Layout was done in EQ8 for this 44” square quilt called It's Magical. I used the Creative Grids Elvira ruler to quilt a curvy allover design with cream thread. I really love the result!



Accuquilt dies used:
55018 Small Value die (4½” square)
55047 Quarter Square Triangle 4½”
55031 Half Square Triangle 4½”
55054 Strips 4½”
55017 Strip 2½”


Life is full of
magical moments
