The 3rd new pattern that features the Sidekick Ruler is Rock Candy.
The Rock Candy Table Topper features two shapes, diamonds and triangles. It is a fast & fun project with no Y seams!

The pattern uses my new Sidekick Ruler. It also includes the option of full size templates just like my other patterns.
Rock Candy is made from a Charm Pack. I used the Sunset Kona Solids charm pack by Robert Kaufman.
I just finished binding it yesterday. Check out my tutorial on how to bind quilts with 120-degree angles to finish this table topper.

I photographed the Table Toppers on my sewing table for the pattern cover.
I couldn't use my dining room table because the black blended in with dark wood.

A few days ago I started making another Rock Candy table topper. I used the same Sunset Kona Solids charm pack by Robert Kaufman & used white as my background fabric.
I love how different the white & black Rock Candy table toppers look even though they have the same feature fabrics!
This pattern & all of the new patterns are available now!

Totally love the look & how different they look with the black & white backgrounds! So creative!
ReplyDeleteI love these. I keep looking at them and seeing Christmas fabrics. I have so much on my to-do list (a couple of them are "must-do-soon" items) but I'm really wanting to get this ruler and pattern and some lovely reds and greens ....
ReplyDelete*drool* Julie ~ I absolutely LOVE this one. Very much like the black background with the solids. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty design, and love the ruler. Not quite sure how it makes this pattern, but I do like the pattern.
ReplyDeleteIs it the gray shape? I'm orientation-confused. =)

Such a striking piece! I admired the quilting even before I read it was by Angela Walters.
