The pipeline...

There's a bit of a pipeline here at Global Nomad Quilts - multiple projects in the works, ideas sketched on my laptop (I used to use Powerpoint to sketch, but I've upgraded to Adobe Illustrator and I love it!), quilts in the process of being made, and finished quilt patterns that need one final scrub of the instructions before they get published.

The next pattern that will actually go on sale is the one I sneak-peeked the other day with what is undoubtedly the world's worst picture. I've decided to call this one "Dancing Stars". I could wait to get it quilted - but I'm quite impatient, and I got a pretty nice picture of it yesterday - so I think I'll just use this picture as the cover image for the pattern. (It's a pretty easy quilt pattern - makes an 84"x 84" quilt top - the blocks are set on point, but they are big blocks, and this is quick to construct.)

In the meanwhile, my mother and my cousin are testing the pattern shown in the image below at the moment.

In addition, my aunt is impatiently awaiting a set of instructions to test a different pattern. Here, I'm the reason of the delay - I'm yet to write them. It takes a good amount of time - Moroccan Morning took 10 hours to write - I woke up one Saturday morning, and spent the entire day writing and drawing.

And now, back to work!

Another sneak peek!

I've been working on a simpler kolam pattern. This particular kolam is a bit of a starter kolam - it's the kind that little children learn to make, before working on more advanced designs. It's also the kind that you quickly draw on your doorstep, if you are in a hurry and have other chores to get on with.

My mother is actually working on testing out a different pattern of mine, and so I actually made these blocks myself - which is a bit of a variation for me. I'm pretty pleased with the way they turned out! Each block is 23 inches square, which means you can make a nice full-size quilt with 9 blocks, and a king-size quilt with only 16 blocks.

Sneak peek!

Here's a (very blurry) sneak peek of the next quilt pattern. 

The inspiration is Indian Rangoli. I'm trying to think of a good pattern name, any suggestions? 

Moroccan Morning - now available for sale!

I finished binding the quilt yesterday, and promptly took some photos in my backyard in fading daylight. But so pretty!

The pattern's available on my Craftsy store right now, and I'm putting up an Etsy listing as well today.
