Eternity Quilt

Today I'm showing my Eternity Quilt.  This quilt and pattern appears in the new September/October 2016 issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting magazine.

This quilt is mainly sewn with regular piecing, but the corners of the blocks are paper foundation pieced.

Quilt Stats:

Size:  78" x 100-1/2"

Block Size:  16"

Fabric:  The Potting Shed, by Holly Taylor for Moda

Batting:  Warm and White, by The Warm Company

Thread:  Signet Ring, by King Tut, for Superior Threads

The big 16" blocks were a fun change for me.  I like the way it looks on my bed.  The Potting Shed fabrics have beautiful, delicate details.  I really loved the flowers and hummingbirds in this fabric collection.

 Here is a full shot of the finished quilt.  I quilted it in an allover swirl, one of my favorite go-to design elements.

The Eternity quilt is in the September/October 2016 issue of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting magazine.  It should be available at your local quilt shop soon, or you can order a digital copy here:  Love of Quilting September/October 2016.  If you only want to make the Eternity quilt, the pattern can be purchased here:  Eternity Quilt Pattern.

If you sew a quilt from one of my patterns, please share a pic.  I would love to see it!

Have a wonderful day!

The Rainbow Connection - Update #1

The Rainbow Connection hexagon quilt.  This week I've added more pink and a little purple.  These hexies finish at a small 3/4" per side.  Again, I'm only using fabrics from my scrap basket.  It should be fun to see how this one turns out.

Have a lovely day!

Violet Posies Quilt

Today I'm going to show my Violet Posies quilt.  This quilt appears in the September/October 2015 issue of McCall's Quilting.  To get this look, I used batik fabric from the Tonga Reef collection by Timeless Treasures.  I used the Warm Company's Soft Soft High Loft batting, and quilted with King Tut Signet Ring variegated thread.  Such a lovely color thread in soft purples and lavenders.

Here's a close-up of the Violet Posies applique block.  I used the fusible applique method for my block, but you could also sew this with a traditional needle-turn applique for equally lovely results.  

To read more about the making of the Violet Posies quilt, join me tomorrow as I guest blog for McCall's on the McCall's Quilting Blog.  See you there!

Until next time...please visit the Curlicue Creations Shop...and have a super day!

Get Creative!
