Berry Crush Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello!  Welcome to the first day of the Berry Crush blog hop.  Thanks for stopping by.  Berry Crush is my new signature fabric collection with Island Batik, Lumin Fabrics, designed by Jerry Khiev.

Disclaimer:  The fabric used to make these quilts was given to me by Island Batik, Lumin Fabrics.

The Berry Crush collection features beautiful colors in a range of pinks and purples. The designs include berries, flowers, and foliage.  It is simply gorgeous and my favorite signature collection so far.  These fabrics make my heart happy.  I hope you feel the same way.  There are 20 fabrics in this collection.  It should be in local quilt shops now.

I made three quilts and patterns to support the Berry Crush fabric line.  Here are my quilts:

Balcony Bouquet

The Balcony Bouquet quilt was a joy to design and make.  I used fusible applique for the flower blocks, which I just adore. The alternating pieced blocks are fun and easy to make and complement the applique perfectly.  You can't see it well in this photo, but I custom quilted this piece.  I will show off the quilting in a future post dedicated to the Balcony Bouquet quilt.  This pattern is available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop as both a PDF download and as a paper pattern (via U.S. Mail).

Chimes

For the Chimes quilt, I went with a dark palette.  As you can see, the Berry Crush fabrics glow against Island Batik's solid black.  I used the dark blue Berry Crush fabric for the setting triangles in this quilt, and I just love the midnight effect it gives to the design.  This quilt is also set on-point.  All blocks are pieced.  Get the pattern in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop today!

Lindy Hop

The third quilt I created with Berry Crush is Lindy Hop.  If you love the look of curvy quilts, but don't enjoy sewing curved seams, this pattern is for you!  Lindy Hop uses easy fusible applique to sew these crisp looking curvy blocks.  I used the entire Berry Crush collection for this quilt and had a ball mixing up the colors and fabrics.  You can use as many or as few Berry Crush fabrics as you like to make this stunning quilt.  This pattern is now available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop and select quilt shops across the USA.

In conjunction with the Berry Crush blog hop, I am giving away a complete 20 piece fat quarter bundle of Berry Crush, along with a print copy of one of my new patterns (winner's choice).  To enter, please sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of this post, or follow me on Facebook or Instagram.  You will receive one entry for each.  Please comment how you follow me in your entry and let me know which pattern you would like if you are selected as the lucky one.  Open to USA residents only, due to shipping costs.  Please be sure you leave me a way to contact you as well.
