This is my newest quilt, Summer Breeze. It's sewn in soft yellow and blues, like sunshine and blue skies.
The Summer Breeze quilt and pattern appear in the new Summer 2022 issue of Quilter's World magazine. This issue is on sale now ~ run out and get one today! If you're feeling lucky, I'll be giving away a digital copy of this magazine at the end of this post.
I used Island Batik's Honey Blue fabric collection, plus their solid white to make the Summer Breeze quilt. This fabric should be available in local quilt shops now.
The blocks are sewn using an easy strip piecing method. This pattern plays well with precut 2-1/2" strip packs, or cut your own from yardage.
Sunrise has become my number one tester for quilt comfort. He appears to approve of this stack of blocks.
I quilted the Summer Breeze quilt with a loopy meander in White Aurifil thread. It was the last of my big white thread cone. That did last for a long, long, time. I need to get another one. I also used Hobbs Thermore batting for this quilt. It's very lightweight and perfect for a summer quilt.
