Soho In Spring Kit by Christopher Thompson

The Soho in Spring Mini Quilt Boxed Kit from Christopher Thompson’s New York Mini Quilt Series includes pattern and fabric for quilt top and binding. Backing not included. Fabric featured is Riley Blake Designs Basics. Pattern is by Christopher Thompson of The Tattooed Quilter. Finished size is 20 1/2″ x 20 1/2″. Quilt kit comes in a keepsake box.

The quilts in the New York Mini Quilt Series are named after some of Christopher’s favorite neighborhoods where culture, art, and the latest food collide. Soho is a neighborhood south of Houston Street (if said incorrectly, NYers will correct you) that features amazing restaurants and shopping. Famous for its cast-iron architecture, Soho was once a popular neighborhood for artists.

Finally a tool that simplifies the construction of the Diamond Square unit without having to use paper foundation piecing. The Square Squared (Square2) is an all-in-one tool that gives you a window template for accurately cutting the center square, a chart printed right on the ruler for the recommended size to cut the triangles sewn to the four sides of the center square and a trim down section on the ruler that simplifies the alignment of ruler to fabric unit and allows everyone to clean up the unit to a precise measurement every time. You can see the tool demonstrated on our free online video demonstration (see below, also on YouTube). This unit is a tricky one to get accurate, but with the Square Squared tool and technique of oversizing and trimming down you’ll have far better success than with any other product on the market.
