The Old Muscat Souq is one of my favorite modern quilt patterns. It uses fat quarters to create a star design, highlighted by inset corners. Taken as a whole the blocks intersect and form a design and lines of their own. This version uses a fun background fabric and red and green solids.
Jack's Gate is a modern quilt pattern inspired by the gates in our neighborhood in Asia. This design uses negative space to draw your attention to the bright flowers and bold gate of the quilt. Jack's Gate uses fat eighths and yardage to create a contemporary, modern design.
