American Patchwork and Quilting, Facebook Live and The Splendid Sampler 2

Hi All!

It's a busy week at Open Gate Quilts!  I received back the quilt I designed for American Patchwork and Quilting!  It's called Seaside Steps and features Coastal Chic Batiks.  I love the beachie feel of this quilt and of course, as you know, I love these batiks!

Doesn't this picture make you want to go to the beach and feel the breeze coming in your open windows?  It does for me!! 

Here is the cover so that you can pick up your copy at your local quilt store or retailer.

Tonight at 7:00 pm central time, I will be holding a Facebook Live video on how I designed this quilt and how to put it together.  Make sure to stop by at 7:00 or on my Facebook page: OpenGateQuilts after 7:00 to watch!  If you make it to the live event, there will be giveaways!

Today is Splendid Sampler 2 Block reveal too!  Here is my version of My Flock by Brenda Ratliff. 

I love the flying geese...no surprise there!  To make them, I used my Mini Fit to be Geese ruler.  The ruler makes them so accurate. 

Thanks for stopping by and see you tonight!
