9-Patch Sawtooth Star


I live within walking distance of one of Utah’s best quilt shops. This is a mixed blessing. It’s great that the walk there is so pleasant. Much of the way is lined with shade trees, and my dog doesn’t mind napping outside the store while I explore inside. (He knows there will always be a treat for him from the dog food store nearby.) When I run out of a particular color of thread, or my last rotary blade goes dull, it’s much more fun to grab the leash and trot out the door than to get in my car and deal with traffic. The downside is I’ve yet to set foot inside this shop without hearing bolts of new and beautiful fabric calling to me. This week it was Joanna Figueroa’s California Girl by Moda. The line is full of peaches, yellows, creams and tans reminiscent of sunny billboards and produce crates from the 1930’s. How could I resist?
