Amber Glow Quilt and Pattern in McCall's Quilting September/October 2022

This is my newest published work, the Amber Glow quilt.  

The Amber Glow quilt and pattern are featured in the new McCall's Quilting September/October 2022 issue.  You can purchase a digital copy online here:  McCall's Quilting Digital Edition.  It will also be available for purchase in quilt shops beginning on July 19th.

The Amber Glow quilt is mostly paper pieced.  If you love paper piecing, this project is for you!

Here is one of the paper pieced sections before trimming.  I used Island Batik's upcoming Simply Southwest fabric collection.  This should be arriving in local quilt shops in August or September.  Isn't it lovely for a fall quilt?

Like I said, lots of paper piecing!  Look at how high this stack of pieced and trimmed sections is!

When I sew two paper pieced sections together I like to use binder clips to keep the edges lined up.

Here's what the blocks look like together ~ sideways.  They have a kind of 3D spinning look to them.

Ringmaster Quilt and Pattern in McCall's Quilting Magazine!

Photo by McCall's Quilting
 
Introducing: The Ringmaster quilt.  An intricate looking pattern made with two blocks and straight seams that gives an illusion of curves.

Disclaimer:  Products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and Hobbs Batting.
The Ringmaster quilt and pattern appears in the new issue of McCall's Quilting magazine.  It's the March/April 2022 issue.  Ringmaster is on pages 26 through 31.

This is one of the two blocks in the quilt.  It's made with a combination of half square rectangles and foundation piecing.

I was able to cut out the half rectangle pieces with my Accuquilt Go, but the pattern has another easy method, if you don't own this die. 

I used the new Interurban fabric collection by Island Batik.  This gorgeous fabric should be arriving in local quilt shops now.  Be sure to stop by Island Batik Ambassador Claudia Porter's blog on February 15th to see the full range of fabrics and the amazing quilt she made with this collection for the Row by Row blog hop.
