New Pattern! ~ Star Crossed Quilt

 Today I'm showing the new pattern for the Star Crossed quilt.  This pattern is available now in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop.

 Star Crossed Quilt

Quilt Stats:

Finished Quilt Size:  56" x 56"

Finished Block Size:  8" x 8"

Fabric:  Island Batik

Batting:  Hobbs Silk

Thread:  Aurifil

 The model was sewn with Island Batik fabric.  So beautiful and lovely to work with.

 This pattern is written for rotary cutting, but can also be easily cut out using an Accuquilt Go and 8" Qube set.

 Pretty folds.

  This quilt will be perfect for snuggling under on a chilly evening.  I like to sit on my front porch and watch the sunset.  My favorite time of the year in North Carolina for sunsets is October.  And yes, I do have a church pew on my porch.

 I quilted the Star Crossed quilt in concentric circles out from the center to the edge.

 This pretty silver and white backing complements the top nicely.

 The black binding matches the thin outer border and gives the quilt a sleek streamlined look.

 I wonder how the Star Crossed quilt would be as a sail?  Would it help to navigate at night, sailing under the stars?  I don't think so, but it would make a good story.

 More pretty folds.

New Pattern! ~ Modern Mini Star Atlantic Version

 Today I'm showing another new pattern, Modern Mini Star, Atlantic Version.  I have four new patterns I'll be showing in the coming days.  The pattern for this quilt is available now in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop.

 The Modern Mini Star quilt is mostly easy straight piecing, but uses a paper foundation piecing method to sew the tiny star in the middle of the center block.  Previous knowledge of paper piecing is helpful for this pattern.  See my paper piecing tutorial here:  Paper Piecing Tutorial

 Here's a view of another one of the star blocks in this quilt.  

 This quilt was sewn with Island Batik's upcoming Just My Type fabric line.

 The beautiful blues and greens remind me of the summertime ocean.

 Finishing at 20" square, this is a quick project that can be completed in one day.

 Quilt Stats:

Finished Quilt Size:  20" x 20"

Fabrics:  Just My Type, Island Batik

Batting:  Hobbs

Thread:  Aurifil

Summertime blues.

 I quilted the model with a turquoise blue Aurifil thread in diagonal lines.

 The binding fabric matches the outer border.

 Pretty folds.  Look at that beautiful color.

 A tiny star quilt adds sparkle to your table top or wall.

New Pattern! ~ Thistle Quilt

  Today I'm showing my newest pattern.  This is the Thistle quilt. This couch cuddler sized quilt is quick to stitch and has a terrific eye catching look that co-ordinates well with nearly any decor.  The pattern for this quilt is now available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop.

 Quilt Stats:

Finished Quilt Size:  59" x 59"

Block Size:  12" x 12"

Fabric:  London Calling by Island Batik

Batting:  Warm and Natural by the Warm Company

Thread:  King Tut by Superior Threads

 This quilt was sewn using the Island Batik London Calling fabric collection.  

  The Thistle quilt is made up of two blocks.  This one with darker fabric values...

 And this one with a lighter, brighter look.

 The two blocks play beautifully together across the quilt top.

  I used the The Warm Company's Warm and Natural batting ~ my very favorite all cotton batt.

I quilted a simple loopy meander in an all over fashion.

  This quilt looks great in the sunshine over a wicker bench on my front porch.

 In this photo you can see a close up look of the simple loopy quilting.  Easy quilt = easy quilting.

 A look at the backing ~ I think this fabric is called Universe?

  The binding is made with the same blue dragonfly fabric as the outer border.
