Edgar Allan Poe and inkwell (testers wanted)

April is National Poetry Month, inspiring this set of patterns related to one of my favorite poets and literary genius: Edgar Allan Poe.  (Although no one holds a candle to Neil Gaiman; sorry, Edgar!)

One of my most cherished "poor young couple" dates with my husband was a spring afternoon walking through the small but fascinating Poe Museum in Richmond, VA.  We loved the bust that sits in the yard and I took many pictures of it.  The Poe profile block was drafted from one of the photos of the bust.

I doubt either of these gentlemen ever planned on this picture (right) showing up in my blog. Word of warning: do not let me take a goofy shot of you. It will end up on the internet.

The block is sized at 10" and is moderately complicated.  Nothing too crazy, but quite a few sections to line up.  To go along with the Poe profile block, I drafted an inkwell with feather quill.  This one is a much simpler block to piece and a beginner with some experience under their belt could put it together.  These two blocks were developed to be a pair (a 2x2 block mini quilt would look really good with patterns reversed in opposite corners), but this companion block is very versatile and would go along with a number of fandom, fantasy, or literary quilts.

Both patterns will be released to the shop once they are tested.  If you are interested in testing, let me know!
