Love Strings Quilt Pattern


56" x 72"

I called this pattern Love Strings because of the little blue squares make up the hearts and the green is the connecting strings. I originally designed it in red and black which you can see below which would be perfect for a February quilt. Since it's summer time, I went ahead and make it in turquoise and lime green which is one of my favorite color combos.


 I have been wanting to make a quilt with a checkered background for quite some time. It just took a while to find the right pattern to put it with. Check out the red and black version and the red and teal version.


How about a monochromatic version? This one has beautiful green blue shades.


a three color version


This baby version is oh so soft looking in pinks and grays. 


You can find my new Love Strings pattern in my etsy shop. It comes in 5 sizes from baby to king. Which version do you like the best?

Another Lakeview Terrace Quilt


60 x 70

Finally finished is this Lakeview Terrace Quilt I started several months ago. This is the second quilt I have made in this pattern. You can see the first one here. This one got some bright and happy fabrics! I made it all from scraps. 


For the quilting, I choose a wavy line with alternating loops. It was very easy to quilt. I just put one line per strip. Something different for a change.


I had nothing in my stash big enough for a back so I decided to make one from matching pieces. I wanted to use some of each color and this is what I came up with. I really am trying not to buy backing fabric unless I have to. 


One for picture just because I love it! Those soft colors are so pretty.
