Pebble Beach Quilt Pattern

62" x 74"

This is my new pattern called Pebble Beach. It comes in two sizes - Throw and Twin. I made this throw quilt in lovely neutral tones. There are shades of brown and gray. I had so much fun narrowing down my fabrics. I haven't made a neutral quilt in a long time. Who knew I had so many?

The background looks solid, but it's really a white-on-white print that was a shade in between Kona white and Kona Snow. 

Here are a few examples in some different colors. I really like the soft navy background and the colorful prints in the second one.

Sand Bar Quilt Pattern

60 x 72

This is one of a set of 3 summertime beachy-themed quilt patterns I've been working on. Sand Bar comes in five sizes from baby to king. Sand Bar is made in three fabric colors. If you look closely, you will see the congruency of a fabric that runs through each set of colors. 

The key to making this quilt look great is to choose a light fabric in each of the three colors as your main print. It should be lighter than all the others. If the fabrics match too closely, you will not achieve the same look as in the cover quilt. For the strips or scraps, choose fabrics that are medium to dark. The more variety the better. The number of 2.5” strips listed on the fabric requirements is the minimum needed. Use more to achieve a scrappier look. See the fabric requirements here.

One morning I had a great idea to try this pattern out in an analogous color theme. I chose this mango, pink, and purple colorway, but I think it would look great in any 3 analogous colors. 
 

You can find Sand Bar in my shop. 

Thunderbolt - A new quilt pattern

60" x 72"

I've got this beautiful new pattern called Thunderbolt. It's all finished up and ready for you! I made the throw size, but it also comes in baby, twin, queen, and king size. The pattern is written for 2 main fabrics and 8 coordinating prints. I chose to do 4 colors ways with 2 fabrics each.

I used a navy print and a cream print. The cream print has sea shells on it and looks great in person. Here are some more fabric ideas for you. 

I love the black polka dot in this fun bee-themed fabric line.

Then there is the rainbow version. I think this would be really cute in the baby size too.

Stitch and Flip Quilt

Here's another quilt made from 2.5" solid strip leftovers. This was surprisingly easy to sew and cut even though it was long. Long pieces usually give me trouble when I try to line them up on the cutting mat. But this one played nice.

I found this green print when I cleaned out the closet a month ago. It is old! It was hiding with some other prints I must have set aside to make a quilt years ago. I have added all those fabrics back into my stash. 

 It's a rainbow kind of spring this year! I am working on one more, but I think I should work on something else first. Maybe a pattern?

Postcard from Sweden Quilt

Throw size postcard quilt. I love making these. It's so nice to sew these colorful blocks together. 

I used a teal binding this time. Trying something different. Looks good!
