2027 Block of the Month (BOM): Ember Glass by Linda McGibbon
With Amy Doyle
This gift worthy series is perfect for the confident beginner but will also challenge more experienced quilters to develop and perfect their quilting skills.
Ember Glass is a modern interpretation of the classic Storm at Sea block, featuring glowing color movement and crisp angular structure including stars, diamonds, spiraling motifs, with strong architectural borders. The 90” X 90” quilt is created using traditional piecing or foundation paper piercing techniques resulting in clean, accurate construction.
For quilters who enjoy paper piecing, the pattern includes a master set of foundation templates included as an optional method. Ember Glass also pairs beautifully with Studio 180’s Diamond Rects, Corner Beam, V Block, and Square Squared rulers, as well as the Creative Grids Square on Square Trim Tool for added precision. Other brands of standard quilting rulers will also work.
Choose one from two color options: The Print Collection using gorgeous prints from favorite designers such as Tim Holtz, Seth Apter, EBond, Yoko Sato, Sue Penn, Libs Elliot and more. Or choose the Batik Collection using a variety of batiks lines including Hoffman Watercolors, Island Batik Prints, and Batik Textiles solids.
