Cherry Tree Quilt in Annie's Two Color Quilts Book

Photo by Annie's

Introducing:  The Cherry Tree quilt, a half square triangle (HST) adventure in pink and teal.

The Cherry Tree quilt is featured in the new Annie's book, Two Color Quilts.

Here's a few of the blocks on my design wall during construction.  I used Island Batik foundation fabrics for my project.  The pink is Flamingo, and the teal fabric is Bermuda.  I used Island Batik Almond and Solid White for the neutrals.  These fabrics are not part of a collection, and are available year round in local quilt shops. 

I quilted it in a simple loopy meander with white Aurifil thread.  This is my go-to quilting design when I am short on time.  It's simple, fun to quilt, and effective.

Ringmaster Quilt and Pattern in McCall's Quilting Magazine!

Photo by McCall's Quilting

 

Introducing: The Ringmaster quilt.  An intricate looking pattern made with two blocks and straight seams that gives an illusion of curves.

Disclaimer:  Products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and Hobbs Batting.

The Ringmaster quilt and pattern appears in the new issue of McCall's Quilting magazine.  It's the March/April 2022 issue.  Ringmaster is on pages 26 through 31.

This is one of the two blocks in the quilt.  It's made with a combination of half square rectangles and foundation piecing.

I was able to cut out the half rectangle pieces with my Accuquilt Go, but the pattern has another easy method, if you don't own this die. 

I used the new Interurban fabric collection by Island Batik.  This gorgeous fabric should be arriving in local quilt shops now.  Be sure to stop by Island Batik Ambassador Claudia Porter's blog on February 15th to see the full range of fabrics and the amazing quilt she made with this collection for the Row by Row blog hop.
