Pulsate - a new release!

Previously released as a throw size pattern in issue 66 of Make Modern Magazine, Pulsate is now available in PDF format via my store! This new release includes instructions for 3 sizes: Small (48” square), Medium (60” square) and Large (84” square).

Pulsate is bold, modern, and filled with movement! The same block elements are repeated with changes in scale to create a design that almost breathes…or pulsates!

Jenn, a middle-aged white woman with curly, greying red hair, stands proudly in front of a modern quilt with simple shapes in shades of purple on a gold background. Jenn is holding a peach-colored 4th place award ribbon attached to the quilt.

My cover version uses Kona Caramel for the background, a mystery deep purple from my stash (but some good approximations include Andover Century Solids in Plum or Kona in Nocturne) for the triangles, and a treasured Ruby Star print for the center squares. This quilt won 4th place in the Modern category at the 2025 NC State Fair!

Of course, Pulsate is on QuiltInk for you to digitally play with actual fabric palettes…here are a few I’ve come up with:

As always, I can’t wait to see what you create - be sure to tag me @sewistry_nc in your posted photos!
