Square-Cut Gems

What a magnificent use of Paula Nadelstern's Nuance fabric! This beautiful pattern (designed by Toadusew) is available in the April/May 2010 issue of McCall's Quick Quilts. Or you may also get both, the magazine and kit from Toadusew Creative Concepts.

The Square-Cut Gems quilts may look intricate, but they are easy to make with a simple cutting trick, plus Toadusew instructions are always a cinch to follow. This would be a wonderful gift for graduation, Father's Day or as a striking accent to any room.

Square Cut Gems really glows like jeweled glass and is available in either the Black Jade (83-1/4" square) or Black Topaz (45" square) colorway. Simply beautiful!

Toadusew Creative Concepts
Made by Angel Griesemer (Black Jade) and Lyndell Simmon (Black Topaz) and
Machine quilted by Cathy Messner.
