Ascension Quilt and Pattern ~ New!

This is the Ascension quilt.  It's one of my new patterns this year.  This quilt is featured in the Island Batik catalog.  The pattern is available in my my Etsy shop and select quilt shops across the USA.

Disclaimer:  The products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.

The Ascension quilt is a pieced quilt made from one block in three different colorways.

The center part of the quilt is framed with a gold border and finished with a blue border.

I used Island Batik's new Mariners fabric collection to make my quilt.  This fabric is available in local quilt shops now.  

I used Schmetz needles for both the piecing and the quilting and Hobbs batting.  I quilted in an allover swirl design.

This quilt is backed in a coordinating Island Batik basics fabric.

The binding was made with the same fabric as the blue outer border.  I like to blend my bindings.

So lovely!  The fabrics in the Mariners collection feature waves, shells, and nets.

Spangled Quilt and Pattern

This is the Spangled quilt.  It's the featured Quilt of Valor pattern in the current issue of Love of Quilting.

Disclaimer:  The products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.

It's the November/December 2021 Issue.  This issue has been out for a few weeks.  You should be able to find it at your local quilt shop now.

Spangled features a variety of star and crossing blocks in an on-point setting to create the design.

I used Island Batik's Midnight Dazzle fabric collection by Kathy Engle, plus Island Batik solids in red and white.  

I quilted a loopy meander across the entire quilt top with a dark blue thread.  I also used Hobbs batting and Schmetz needles to get beautiful results!

I backed this quilt with this gorgeous blue Island Batik blender fabric and bound the edge with the same dark blue that I used for the outer border.

 Quilt Stats:

Finished Quilt Size:  73-1/2" x 90-1/4"

Block Size:  12" x 12"

Fabric:  Midnight Dazzle by Kathy Engle for Island Batik + Solids

I love the way the Spangled quilt looks draped over my front steps with the roses hanging over.  If you sew a Spangled quilt, please share a photo.  I would love to see it!  You can tag me on Instagram @curlicuecreations.  To order a copy of the magazine, click here:  Love of Quilting November/December 2021
