While I was watching the Food Network yesterday, I noticed this eye catching pattern on a conveyor belt so I sketched it out on paper then figured out how to break up the block to tile and reproduced it in Photoshop. It kinda looks like little houses.
By complete fluke, I copied the design and while tiling, came up with a lot of different variations but I’ll show you those tomorrow. Here are a few colour options I thought would be cute:
Here’s the basic block pattern. If you use this to create a block or quilt, please credit me and linking back to this post would be awesome! I also started a Bending Pins Flickr group here.
The finished block size would be 12″ x 8″. This is an original quilt pattern designed by me. If you choose to make it and share on social media, a credit would be greatly appreciated. Sale of this quilt pattern without permission is prohibited by copyright law.
V cool. Love the one with the wee green triangles. V v nice. Hmmmmm. The trouble with reading other blogs is that you end up with a HUUUUUGE quilt must make list in your head
LOL! Kathleen, I don’t even know where to start! Which pattern do I make? And lets not even get started with colour choices! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Love it! I especially like the second one….the rainbow-looking one.
Thank you Candy!
this is so great! I like them ALL!
Thanks Adrienne! I just subscribed to your blog, you quilts and colour choices are gorgeous!
How gorgeous! What a fun pattern — I like the last one best, with the green background “grass”!
Thank you Michelle! It was fun and exciting discovering the many different patterns in one motif!
Ooh, I love it!
Thanks M-R, now to sew it up!
This is a fabulous pattern, I’ve got to make some hand printed fabrics for a swap in the next week or so, and this would make a great print too.

Go for it Ange, let me know if you do decide to use this pattern, I’d love to see your results!
That is really cool!
Thanks P.!
Looks very interesting
Thanks for stopping by Marjorie!
Way to go Tabatha! It’s a great pattern!
Thanks Patti! I was really excited about it. I know most designers keep everything to themselves until they can make a quilt and sell it as a pattern but I just couldn’t wait, I’m terrible at keeping secrets! ;D xoxo
Oh I love this!!! I don’t know where I will find the time to make it. Watching a 7 month old takes up a lot of time.
Congratulations on your baby Pamela! I know when I had my son, sleeping myself at nap time was priority #1! Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment!
I love it, very cool looking.
Thanks Carmie! I just have to get my scattered thoughts and ideas together, settle down and make it! ;D
This is such a great pattern! I like the way you colored the options too. Thanks!
Thanks Emily! Good luck with your AB Weekender bag, I haven’t tried that yet, I hear it’s a tough bag to make!
Very coool! I love the variations!
Thanks Tamie, now I have to make it! ;D
I love this pattern idea. Ok, and I’m quite partial to your blog name as well
Thanks for stopping by WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced!
Thanks Claire! Yeah, there are many bent pins over here, if there’s a pin in my work, I’ll jab myself! Love your blog name too! xox
What a fab pattern! So many options!
Thanks Jo! Little did I know where this would go when I sketched it out! Thanks for swinging by and leaving a comment!
So cool where one can find inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
It is cool, there’s pattern everywhere! Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!
That is so cool!
Thanks Carol!
Thanks for posting your inspiration and free pattern. It’s lovely.
Thanks Dolores, I’ll be working on a mini quilt for the next few days. I hope others give it a whirl too!

Thanks Michelle, it was fun to play with the pattern!
Inspiration can be found anywhere! So fun
It is fun Carla and I LOVE your zippy pouches, especially the bicycle one!
Love your idea! And the color options are fantastic!:) you just never know where inspiration strikes, right?
Thanks Kati, I’ll be acting on the patterns I see more often, even if they don’t work, it’s a great exercise.

Thanks Karen, I also wonder what the little houses would look like with fussy cut fabrics!
What a cool pattern idea!
Thanks Laurelar!
Beautiful! I love it how inspiration can just strike you out of the blue and then take off in a totally new direction! This is great – can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Thanks Sarah! I need to get my butt in gear and start cutting!
Great block idea!
Thanks Cynthia!
A very cool design!
Thanks Jenny, I hope you consider trying it!
Just came across this on pinterest and it’s so cool. I love how you can create such different looks by changing the color up. I’m definitely going to give this a try!! Thanks.
Thanks Lindsey, I didn’t see the houses until after I’d recreated the pattern in Photoshop. I’d LOVE to see your version!!
I just found this on Pinterest, it’s so cool! I love how the look changes so much by changing the colors. I’m definitely giving this a try. Thanks!
This is an amazing pattern. Sew Creative. I love all three colorways. I wandered in via a series of clicks while visiting a new blog and then the solid color flicker block group. I will be back …thanks for sharing …
