I-Spy Quilts

I've been cleaning out closets for the last couple months and I found a bunch of I-Spy fabrics I bundled up years ago. It's not that I forgot about it, but I was only keeping one in my Etsy shop at a time. So this time I decided I should make some different versions and give people some options. Of course I made the traditional I Spy quilt with just different blocks. But then I started looking for other ways I could make them.

This navy one is quite simple. 80 blocks with 1 inch sashing. It's very organized and logical looking. 

Then I found this white version where the sashing is offset. This was much easier tto sew because there wasn't any long 1 inch sashing strips to sew on. I chose not to do a white binding because it would get dirty, at least in my mind that's what would happen. 

 And then there is this turquoise version. Why not branch out in a different color? I was surprised how much I liked this one. I have a burnt orange color I'd like to try next. Which one is your favorite?

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.
