This is the Quadrille quilt, my newest pattern! It's featured in the Island Batik catalog. This pattern is available in my Etsy shop and in select quilt shops across the USA.
Disclaimer: The fabrics used to make this quilt were generously given to me by Island Batik.
I used the new Harvest Night fabric collection by Kathy Engle for Island Batik. This fabric should be arriving in quilt shops now. Just look at these lovely colors and designs. There are a lot of pumpkins, ravens, and curly vines featured in this collection. It's perfect to sew something cozy for the upcoming Fall season (like the new Quadrille quilt!)
The Quadrille quilt features two different block designs, this cool 3D looking block,
and this modern looking squares block. The squares block is made in two colorways for the quilt.
This quilt finishes at 78" x 101". It's wonderful on my King size bed, but would also work on a Queen, or Double.
Pretty folds.
I quilted Quadrille in an allover loopy meander. Do you see the cool spiderweb fabric I used for the outer border and binding? Spooky!
Here's a pic of the spiderweb binding and the beautiful backing fabric I used for Quadrille. If I remember correctly, the backing is Terra Cotta.

My Daisy Pond quilt and pattern is featured in the new Love of Quilting July/August 2022....sort of.
See the "Plus Free Bonus Digital Pattern" on the cover? That's Daisy Pond. You can get it when you purchase the issue. Here's a link to get your copy: Love of Quilting July/August 2022, or look for it in local quilt shops now. *Bonus: My fellow Island Batik Ambassador Quilting Gail has a quilt in this issue, too!
Daisy Pond was a really fun medallion style quilt with this quick and easy to sew fusible applique ring of daisies floating on a pond for the center block. The green border around the daisies represents the marshy green edge of the pond.
The checkerboard border and the triangle border represent rocks around the pond.
I used Island Batik's new Jewel Carvings fabric collection for this quilt.
Pretty folds!
I swirl quilted in a blue thread to simulate movement in the water.
Daisy Pond is backed in another lovely blue Island Batik fabric and bound with a dotty blue.
More pretty folds. These colors make me feel happy and calm.

Hello! Welcome to my day of the Island Batik Ambassador New York Beauty blog hop! This is my quilt.
Disclaimer: The products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.
This month's challenge and blog hop was to make a New York Beauty quilt using our "surprise" package fabrics that we received in our January Ambassador boxes.
I was lucky enough to receive Pumpkin Spice. This collection was designed by Kathy Engle for Sarah Fabian, Quilt Basket. It is gorgeous! The purples, golds, greens and more are saturated with Island Batik color, and the patterns feature pumpkins, ravens, curling vines and other fabulous designs. I'm in love! I'm giving away some of this collection at the end of my post. Read on.
New York Beauty quilts typically feature curved blocks with paper pieced points. This is one of the arcs I made for my quilt. I designed my blocks in EQ8. If you own Electric Quilt 8 and you've never tried designing one of these, it's really quite easy and fun. They have a special section for drawing "arc" blocks. I highly recommend trying it out.
Here's one of my completed blocks. I had a great time mixing up the Pumpkin Spice fabrics for the points and rainbows. The neutral fabric I used is Rice. I had a 6 yard cut and I used most of it for this project.
After I put all the blocks together, I cut squares from each fabric and sewed them into strips for one of the borders.
I made another pieced border with more paper piecing via these triangle strips.
When my top was all together and it was time to quilt I chose this light purple Aurifil thread. It's #2562.
Ragamuffin supervised. "When is my new snuggle quilt going to be ready?" she wanted to know.
I quilted a loopy meander over the surface of the quilt with my favorite, Schmetz needles.
I used Hobbs 80/20 Bleached Cotton for the batting. It's wonderful!
It looks like summertime on my front porch.
I used this Island Batik blender fabric for the backing.
I made the binding from two of the green Pumpkin Spice fabrics.
So lovely!
