Any Which Way Quilt and Pattern ~ NEW!

Meet Any Which Way, one of four new quilt patterns I created with my newest Island Batik Lumin Fabrics signature fabric collection, Sunflower Spice.

This collection is so bright and beautiful!  I loved working with it to bring my designs to life.  Sunflower Spice is a gorgeous rainbow collection featuring Sunflowers, leaves, tossed petals, and foliage designs.  This fabric should be hitting shops now.  If you don't see Sunflower Spice and Curlicue Creations patterns in your local quilt shop, please ask for them.

The Any Which Way quilt is so much fun to make!  I've long wanted to create an allover Flying Geese style quilt.  I enjoyed making these blocks in thirteen different color combinations and putting them together "Any Which Way".  No need to worry ~ the pattern walks you through each step with clear instructions and full color diagrams.

One of my favorite elements about this quilt is how the blocks make this nifty secondary design where they come together.  It adds a whimsical touch to this playful quilt.

I used Hobbs Heirloom Premium Cotton Batting, Aurifil Thread for the piecing, and King Tut in Cleopatra for the quilting.  Rainbow quilting thread for a rainbow quilt.  Perfect in my book.

I backed Any Which Way with Midnight Blue by Island Batik.  I used one of the purple fabrics from the Sunflower Spice collection for the binding.

The Tangerine Azalea in my yard was in bloom when I did the photo session for Any Which Way.  It seemed like the perfect companion for this quilt, plus it smells so wonderful.  Here's a few more glamour shots:

Thistle Pattern and Kit in Connecting Threads

Have you seen the newest quilt patterns and kits from Connecting Threads?  The Thistle quilt is one of three patterns I have in their new catalog.  Shop all three of my new patterns at the Connecting Threads website now!  


Thistle works up quickly in crisp blues.  This fresh new fabric collection by Connecting Threads is Cottage Cove.  I just love the wonderful range of blues from whisper light to deep blue sea.  The finished Thistle quilt measures 59" square and is appropriate for intermediate level quilters.

The kits include the Thistle pattern and the Cottage Cove fabrics needed to sew the quilt top.  The kits are available for sale at this link:  Thistle Quilt Kit  

If you prefer to order the pattern only, you can get it here:  Thistle Quilt Pattern

Either way, I hope you'll try this fun Curlicue Creations pattern!  If you sew a Thistle quilt, or any of my patterns, I would love to see your quilt.  Please tag me on Facebook or Instagram @curlicuecreations.

I also wanted to let you know, my next signature collection with Island Batik Lumin Fabrics is starting to ship to local quilt shops now.  Sunflower Spice is a bright rainbow collection of fabrics.  I'll be hosting a blog hop with some of my favorite quilter friends beginning June 10th.  I'll be giving away a fat quarter bundle of the new collection, and patterns, too!  I can't wait to show you the new patterns I've created to accompany the Sunflower Spice fabric collection.  I'm also anticipating seeing what everyone created for the hop ~ exciting times ahead!  Mark your calendar for June 1st through 10th for Sunflower Spice inspiration.
