Square Root ~ A New Pattern

I'd love to share with you my latest pattern:


Square Root is a Jelly Roll pattern. 
The cover quilt is made up in Kate Spain's Fandango line of fabric. 
[Such great colors and prints, if you ask me.]


It's a very scrappy quilt using a very versatile block!


You can make it with or without the applique blocks.


And, I think it would be a great stash buster pattern,
if you didn't want to use a Jelly Roll.

 The finished size measures 54" x 70". 

Patterns are available in my etsy shop.

Want a copy?  Leave a comment below telling me what you think about
Square Root and I'll pick one winner to receive a free copy! 
Giveaway will end Wednesday at midnight.

    Amber, I looked at the Square Root quilt and I looked at it a few more times and the more I look at it, the more I like it! Is it complicated? Would love to win it. Thanks! Rose

    it's beautiful! I love the illusion with the white and how you've done the border.

    Cute design Amber. :)

    I love this! I love everything about it! I think I would use some floss to write some cute quotes in the big white squares, rather than do the appl. there, because that's more "me". I do hope I win! ~ Jody Edwards jody.edwards@yahoo.com

    I like this pattern a lot! I love the Fandango, but I'm sure you could change the presentation so much just by changing up the fabrics. This is definitely a quilt that I would love to try to make.

    Love the pattern. It would be great made up in any fabric. Definitely a great size for a baby. I'll be making three baby quilts in next few months, two for close friends and one for a new grandbaby due in May.

    Amber, Your new pattern is wonderful. Your right, it would be a perfect stash buster and now that I have my stash (though it is small) all out on my shelves where I can see it, I think I might...just might, have everything I would need to make "Square Root"! Including my "how too" books to try the applique. By this afternoon, my sewing room will be completely ready to start being a productive quilter again!!! Thanks for a chance to have your darling pattern. Good luck to everyone and hugs to you Amber...

    Ambs, Maya's costume is seriously adorable. What a sweet little angel! Sorry you've been under the weather. Are you feeling better? Let's go to lunch soon - sometime before Misty has her baby. Maybe next week? And are you still up for going out on Fri? Let me know.

    P.S. LOVE your new pattern!

    What a fantastic new pattern and I love it done in the fandango. I love your cute heart quilt too. I'm hoping to start one after the first of the new year. Thanks so much again for your giveaway. I am thrilled!

    This is a really cute pattern. How is that flower appliqued so cleanly? Your quilting really sets off the fabric design. Am I too late to enter the drawing? For some reason when read this on Tuesday, missed the giveaway at the bottom. My background is in mathematics so square root as the quilt name intrigued me.
