New Pattern! Rock the Boat

I have another new pattern to share with you today.  This is the Rock the Boat pattern, in the new Summer Fields fabric collection by Island Batik.

Summer Fields should be in your local quilt shop now.  In fact, I have one 2-1/2" strip pack of Summer Fields left in the Curlicue Creations shop as I write this.  Here's the link:  Summer Fields 2-1/2" Strip Pack  It won't last long.  Island Batik pre-cuts always sell quickly.

The Rock the Boat pattern sews a 74" x 86" quilt.  This is great for a twin size bed, or snuggling on the couch on an icy cold winter evening.

This pattern is sewn using quick and easy strip piecing methods.

Rock the Boat is fast, fun, and easy to sew.  Rotary cutting - simple, straight piecing.

I quilted Rock the Boat in an allover swirl with white Aurifil thread.  The swirl quilting gives the illusion of water and movement.

I used this beautiful blue Island Batik fabric for the back of my quilt.

I used blue for the binding, too.  This blue matches the outer border of the quilt. I like my binding to match the outer border fabric in my quilt so it blends into the edge of the quilt rather than contrasting with the edge.

Stitch up this fabulous design for your next gift, or home decor project.  This beautiful quilt is perfect for any room of your home.  Add a little zip of color and pattern play to any area with the Rock the Boat quilt pattern.

Quilt Soap Review

 Hello dear readers.  You asked for a review on the Quilter's Rule Quilt Soap.  Here's my experience:

I used this soap to clean my Rock the Boat Waterfall Version Quilt, just returned from a trunk show with Island Batik.  My quilt was returned in beautiful condition, but I felt it needed a cleaning after being out in the world.  I did a machine wash, delicate cycle, using the Quilt Soap.  Before using, you have to shake the container a bit to agitate the contents.  

 This is how the soap looks inside.  It is maybe a little thicker than laundry detergent and has a nice clean smell, like soap.  You only need one tablespoon of the soap per wash.  This 8 oz. container has enough for 16 washes, and complete directions for machine washing, or washing by hand for more delicate, family heirloom type quilts.  I also threw in a color guard sheet with my quilt, just in case.  

 As you can see, my quilt came out nice and clean!  It also has a clean smell, not a strong purfume-y smell, just clean.  Very nice, and kitten approved.  I'm keeping the Quilt Soap in my laundry room. It's also notable that this soap contains no water, dye, or additives and it's biodegradable.  I received my Quilt Soap in my Quilty Box subscription, but you can purchase it from Quilter's Rule, here:  Quilt Soap.  

Note:  This product was given to me by Quilty Box at no cost to me.
