Gray Matter - A Finished Quilt and My First Pattern

My First Quilt Pattern - Gray Matter

I did it. 

It has been months in the making but I finally finished my first pattern. 

The pattern will be available as a PDF and is 9 (single sided) pages long.  It includes detailed instructions every step of the way and full color step-by-step diagrams for laying out and sewing the blocks.

Included in the pattern is 3 different size options:
Throw Size: (51.5" x 66")
Twin Size: (68" x 82.5")
Full/Double Size: (82.5" x 97")

For the cover quilt I used a variety of dark, medium and light greys with blue as my accent color.  I also pulled a few fabrics that gave the overall impression of grey but contained white and blue in them as some of my medium greys.  The quilt is backed in a dark grey bubble print and bound in a black Michael Miller Krystal print.

I quilted the quilt using straight lines  about 1/2" from each side of the large triangle.  In addition I created spirals and small triangles on all the black squares. 

*** I want to put in a big thanks to Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts and Susan of The Bored Zombie for proofreading and encouragement in getting this pattern done.  Without them I don't think I would have tried making a pattern, so THANK YOU SO MUCH.   Please go check out their blogs, they both have some serious eye candy and awesome posts that are well worth your time! ***
