And the pattern for all of these cute little wool circus animals and their circus train home/storage pouch. You can get this book from Kansas City Star as well as from American Quilting in Orem, Utah. American Quilting also carries the 15 degree wedge ruler if you want to combine shipping. Their number is 801-802-7841. (American Quilting is not set up as an online shopping site. You will need to call the store and the nice ladies there can help you out!)
One more fun to new book to share. I just recently got a copy of Amy Ellis’s latest book Modern Neutrals: A Fresh Look at Neutral Quilt Patterns.
Here are a few more from the book that I really liked. The quilts in the book are all made from blacks, whites, grays, and tans – hence the name “Neutrals” – but I think they would look equally cool in colors. Modern Neutralsis available on Amazon or at your local quilt shop.

Thank you!!! Lucky me! I love how those fabrics and how the block looks. I am so excited to be putting them all together soon. I am totally addicted to both the Dresden and the Wedge rulers… so many fun things. Obviously your photo was my inspiration for this project. I am so glad to see that Amy McC. has published a book… looks like fun! Of course, it's a circus!!!

Ooo, the neutral quilts look like they'd be great "man quilts." I adore the one on the left of the double picture (if that makes sense.)

I love the blocks – they remind me of one of those wall of death things only with push bikes rather than motor bikes going round and round.

LOVE the finer, less chunking, look of your wedge quilts.<br /><br />I looked on Under the Garden Moon site for their wedge ruler you have pictured but I could not find it. Do you have a source for this ruler?

Yes! If you call American Quilting in Utah (801)802-7841 they have them in stock.

I love that Dresden block. Someday I would love to play with it more.<br />And, I hope you can enjoy your summer with kids home. I know it's stressful to keep them entertained, but it's also nice to not worry about homework and packed schedules. At least your weather is much better than ours! My daughter is trying to think of ways to keep everyone happy INDOORS 🙂

That is good perspective for me to keep in mind. It's sending kids outside that is my greatest sanity saver. I sound like I'm complaining – there is much that I love about summer! But finding the balance between structure and freedom is always a tricky one for me.

Those wedge quilts are great. I feel your pain about middle school – we were in that boat last yeat but it ended up going really good.

I love those blocks! A lot of the blogs I read do traditional Dresden blocks and it was a real treat to a unique block! I love that you used a bicycle pattern in-between the sections. Almost like a bicycle wheel it's spokes! Can't wait to see the rest of the pattern!<br />

Amazing wedge quilts, I love them! Doesn't highschool sound scary? Well, all the best with it!

Beautiful block! Some years ago, a very generous quilter gave us all, a free tutorial for a similar variation on traditional Dresden block here:<br />https://cadouri-din-inima.blogspot.ro/2011/11/dresden-quilt-finished.html<br /><br />
