Sherbet Hearts Pattern Update

 The Sherbet Hearts pattern has been revised to a more quilter friendly, easier to sew pattern.

 I've learned a lot since I first began writing quilt patterns.  This pattern has been popular, but it needed an update.

 This pattern is romantic.

 This pattern is reminiscent.

 This pattern is radiant.

 The Sherbet Hearts pattern features fusible applique, strip piecing, and easy sew and flip flying geese units.

 Full color diagrams are used for each step throughout the pattern.

 This quilt's finished size is 64" x 70", a nice size for a cuddly throw quilt.

A simply charming design with old-fashioned hearts and nine-patch blocks trimmed with a flying geese border in yummy sherbet colors.

 A timeless design, reminiscent of quaint, downtown homes, the ice cream parlor, and the old timey candy shop.

Ready Set Go Baby Quilt featuring Star Sweeper

Disclaimer:  The products in this post were given to my by Island Batik at no cost to me.

 Introducing the Star Sweeper quilt.  This is my April challenge quilt for Island Batik Ambassadors.

 This month we were challenged to sew a baby quilt using our Accuquilt Go.

I chose to use Island Batik's Winter Park fabric collection, plus Custard, the large yellow fabric on the bottom of my stack.  If you want to get your hands on some of this gorgeous fabric and can't find it locally, check out Hancock's of Paducah.  They carry the complete line of Island Batik fabrics.

 I designed my quilt using two blocks from the Quilt in a Day Go Qube book.  This book makes it so easy by providing a cutting chart for each block, plus full color diagrams and written instructions to sew each block.  

 Using the Accuquilt Go, it was easy and fun to cut out all the pieces for my quilt in one evening.  

Trail Mix helped.  (Not recommended)

 My blocks are set on point.  The center block is a variation of Mosaic #15.  I used the same pieces as the book, but changed the color placement a bit.

 The blue, white, and yellow fabrics play so well together.

 It looks pretty on my sewing porch.  This is where I do hand sewing, right outside my studio door.  It's like an outside extension of my sewing room.

 I quilted Star Sweeper with my white Aurifil thread in straight lines out from the center.

 I tried Hobbs 100% Wool Batting in this quilt and loved it!  This was my first experience with wool batting.  It quilted beautifully with no problems at all.  It says it "doesn't hold creases" ~ how nice.  And I'm sure it makes a super warm quilt, too.

 I used the same blue fabric as the outer border for the binding.

 This quilt was a joy to create.

Mill House Spring Quilt Rainbow Version

Today I'm sharing the Rainbow Version of the Mill House Spring quilt.

 I sewed this quick quilt with a selection of fabrics from my stash.

 Aren't the fabrics pretty?  I love that gray snowflake fabric in the inner border.

 And the deep blues and greens on this corner of the quilt.

 I did simple straight line quilting from top to bottom, quilted about 1" apart.

 You can see the gorgeous rainbow of stitches in this close up.  

I used Superior Thread's King Tut in Cleopatra for the quilting.

 I backed my quilt with this classic looking roses on black fabric I found hidden deep in my stash.  

 Stitch! Stitch!  Stitch!

Pretty folds and fabrics.

Uphill Downhill Quilt

 Introducing...the Uphill Downhill quilt!

 This quilt was made with Island Batik's new Paisley Park fabric collection.  These fabrics were generously provided to me by Island Batik for this project.  Thank you so much!

 This quilt features two crossing blocks with lots of flying geese units.

 The second block has slightly different construction and showcases the purple and white fabrics.

 It's backed in another beautiful blue Island Batik fabric.  Swoon!

 I used Warm and Natural cotton batting by the Warm Company.  It always quilts beautifully and makes for a cuddly warm quilt.

 I quilted with Superior Threads King Tut in Wisteria Lane.

 This quilt looks ready for a crisp Spring evening on the front porch.

 I feel so lucky to be an Island Batik Ambassador and get to sew with these color drenched fabrics every day.  I love, love, love Island Batik fabrics!

 The simple straight line quilting diagonally out from the center is a great accent for this crossing block design.

 I used the same purple fabric as the outer border for my binding.

 This is an intermediate level quilt pattern.  If you've been making beginner quilts for a while and are looking for something a bit more challenging, this may be a good fit for you.

 The Uphill Downhill quilt is waiting for me tonight.  I hope I can get a little relaxation time with this quilt and watch Jeopardy!  That record breaking contestant made it over $1,000,000 last night!  Did you see it?
