I just recently realized that I showed you the new cover of Opposites Attract... but got so busy I never told you anything else about it! Right before Spring Quilt Market I ran out of Opposites Attract and decided that before going back to print I'd create a new cover.
I also updated the pattern a bit. It has more diagrams, instructions and looks similar to my more recent patterns. Also I added baby size as another option!

Opposites Attract was the first pattern I released & will always have a special place in my heart. While this pattern can be made with any fabric... I've made it 6 times now! This stack of 4 of them also shows my love of bias cut striped binding!!

Here are some of the outtakes from taking the new cover photo!
Detail close up before washing.
I started out by using the fence in our backyard.
I love how the lighting in this photo really shows the crinkly softness that comes from washing a quilt.
oh the wind...
more wind...
the wind stopped... but the lighting wasn't right
how about a bench?
next stop, our neighbor's driveway! I liked how the curve of their path worked with the curves in Opposites Attract.
The back of my quilt. I pieced my label into a strip of leftover fabrics. Then I added more Kona Peacock on both sides to complete the back.
A close up after washing!
For even more photos of Opposites Attract you can check out my Pattern Development Process, a post from last spring.
I love all my opposites attract quilts, but I think this one is my favorite. Do you have a favorite?
