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.

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.

Scrap Snap 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.
