This quilt was designed by Kevin Kosbab and was featured in the American Patchwork & Quilting’s August issue. I simply love this quilt! I think it’s so fresh but also a really fun EQ6 design!
I asked Kevin to tell me a bit about his quilt;
“I did designed it in EQ6, drawing a PatchDraw circle on a plain block and a smaller circle on each quadrant of a four-patch block from the Block Library, using the grid to keep the circles aligned with each other. Then I set those blocks alternating on the Quilt Worktable. It was great to be able to see how it would look in different fabrics since I was aiming for a contrast of prints and solids. And just for fun, I played with Random Recolor a bit to come up with some other color schemes–like the Verner Panton print that inspired the quilt, it’s a pretty versatile pattern.
Below is a photo of the actual quilt next to the EQ digital version of the quilt:
Kevin used a feature in EQ6 called the Random Recolor Tool. Have you tried this yet? It’s a really fun tool that lets your experiment with color schemes without having to think about it! Recolor your quilt to be lighter/darker, more or less saturated, change the colors around the color wheel or even randomly color your quilt with a click!

Thanks for sharing all your hard work, Kevin. Visit Kevin’s website to see more of what he does.

The pattern was published in the August 2009 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. You could check with the magazine to see if they still have back issues available.
You could also contact Kevin Kosbab directly to ask if he has the pattern available: http://www.feeddog.net/

I have a client who want this quilt made for her daughter “just like the picture.” Do you know if Kevin made this quilt from a specific line of fabric or are the fabrics chosen from a variety of designers?
