Introducing: The Cherry Tree quilt, a half square triangle (HST) adventure in pink and teal.
The Cherry Tree quilt is featured in the new Annie's book, Two Color Quilts.
Here's a few of the blocks on my design wall during construction. I used Island Batik foundation fabrics for my project. The pink is Flamingo, and the teal fabric is Bermuda. I used Island Batik Almond and Solid White for the neutrals. These fabrics are not part of a collection, and are available year round in local quilt shops.
I quilted it in a simple loopy meander with white Aurifil thread. This is my go-to quilting design when I am short on time. It's simple, fun to quilt, and effective.

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.

Hello and welcome to the first day of the Island Batik Ambassador Row by Row blog hop. This is my quilt, Stars and Stripes Forever that I made with the new Americana fabric collection by Kathy Engle. I'm sorry that it is just a top and not a finished quilt. January was exceptionally busy for me and I finished the top and took this quickie photo just before writing my post. Normally I do a lot more photos and I do apologize. I will write another post with more detail when I finish the quilt.
Disclaimer: The products used to make this quilt were given to me by Island Batik and Industry Partner.s
The Island Batik Ambassadors were challenged to make a row quilt for the February blog hop. I designed my rows in EQ8. Looking back, I knew I was super busy and I should have chosen simpler blocks, but I loved making these blocks and the way they look together along with the four rows of red star blocks.
Americana is a new collection of red, white, and blue fabrics designed by Kathy Engle. These fabrics should be arriving in local quilt shops in February. They are truly beautiful together. I used all of the fabrics in my quilt. I also used Aurifil thread, Schmetz needles, and cut as many pieces as possible with my Accuquilt Go.
Ragamuffin is my shy kitty. She rarely gets into a photo. Here she is posing with the stack of Americana fabric, plus the coordinating white and blue that I received to make my quilt. Oh kitty.
This week Island Batik is giving away fat quarter bundles of both the Americana collection and the Chantilly collection on their blog. Click here to visit the Island Batik blog.
Thank you for stopping by. Be sure to visit my blog hop partner, Denise Looney, For the Love of Geese to see what she made with Americana.
Here's the complete list for the blog hop so you can follow along and see all the new Island Batik fabric collections and get inspiration from the Ambassadors. I can't wait to see what everyone makes!
