Shifting Tiles Quilt Pattern


I've got another new pattern for you. This is Shifting Tiles in a throw size but the pattern comes in four sizes from throw to king. I made this one out of some blue and green solids, but it also looks great in prints (keep scrolling).


I've got some mockups for you in festive spring fabrics, some orange and blues, a red Valentine theme and one in some beautiful purples.





This pattern whips up quickly and shows off those pretty prints you have in your stash. Find the pattern in my shop here.

Maze Runner


My new pattern is called Maze Runner. It comes in 4 sizes: throw, full, queen and king. This is a versatile pattern because I wrote it so you can use fat quarters, 2.5" strips, and 10" squares. You can use one or a combination of all three. The more fabrics you use the scrappier the look will be.


Here are some mockups I made in different fabrics. These are not my usual colors. I'm trying to get out of my typical colorways even if it's just in the samples. 






Those last two versions would be perfect for Valentine's Day!  If you want to make one for yourself, you can find the pattern in my Etsy shop here.

Blue Frog Quilt Pattern

New Pattern Alert! This is the Blue Frog quilt pattern and I am delighted with it! I know it's not that blue and it doesn't look like a frog. Let's face it. Naming quilt patterns is getting more and more challenging. But there is a method to my madness. I had these colors in mind when I designed the quilt. I've been using my solids up this fall and there are these pesky green ones that didn't seem to go with much. So I grabbed all of them and then asked myself what goes with green? Well blue of course! So then I had the blues all audition for the part and this is the resulting cast. 

This pattern was so helpful in using both yardage and 2.5" strips. I had a bunch of that in these blues and greens too. I even put the directions in there for fat quarters just to hit everything you might have on hand. So grab what you have and make this quilt!. 

I even found two blue greens for the back and put a hard to use green in between them. I tied in the black and white accent fabrics by using a black and white print for the binding. 


Back to where the blue frog comes in. I was on the internet one day and I saw a picture of a blue frog. They are beautiful! Why not use that for my pattern name. So then came this blue and black version which reminds me of the blue frog. If I hadn't already had my fabrics picked I would have switched to these. 


Both the previous versions use a solid black and a solid white as the accent colors, but I wanted to see what it might look like with a pop of raspberry, also lovely.


For this last version, I used two white prints from the fabric collection for the accent fabrics. It adds just enough interest and breaks up the darker colored pieces. 


The Blue Frog Quilt Pattern is in my shop here. Tag me on Instagram when you finish yours. I'd love to see it.

Scrap Snap Quilt

60 x 72

The Scrap Snap quilt pattern is one of my favorite scrappy quilt patterns. I think this is my fourth one so far. I love all the different fabrics that get put into it and you get to lay it out however you want and it still looks great. When I put the binding on, it was fun to go from color to color around the quilt. 
 

This white/gray print needed a bit of color so I threw together a few more scraps for a strip down the back. Looks much more impressive in person. That white fabric is hard to capture. 

I will have to make myself one of these someday. But today this one is for sale. Find it here in my shop.

Sparkly Rainbow HST Quilt



How about a little sparkle in your quilt? This is a design I came up with to use up all of those solids I have in my stash. Well not all of them, there are still several that didn't make it into this quilt. But I did manage to incorporate 65 different colors. Whew that was a lot! Do you have that many Kona Cottons in your stash or am I the only one?


I tried to remove some of them to get it down to 50, but taking some of them out changed the look of the quilt a bit. I suppose it could be done in the grand scheme of things, but I love all the colors in there so I didn't take any out. 
 

A nice neutral gray and a black bind finished off this quilt. 


I'd love to know if you keep that many solids on hand. Is this too many fabrics for a quilt pattern?
