Tango Quilt and Pattern in Connecting Threads

My Tango quilt and pattern is available through Connecting Threads!

Order the kit here:  Tango quilt kit

Order the downloadable pattern here:  Tango pattern download

It's available as both a kit featuring their beautiful Coastal Morning fabric collection and also as a stand alone instant download pattern.

I love this beautiful photo they took of the Tango quilt.  It looks like it's enjoying some soft morning light.  This quilt finishes at 66" x 78".  It's a nice size for any bed.  I love it on my king size bed.  I use a store bought comforter on my bed and lay my quilt on top of that.  It covers the top of the bed beautifully and protects the underside of the quilt.

I made my version of the Tango quilt using Island Batik Lumin Fabrics pieces from my stash.  

I adore the way it came out.  The colors are so relaxed and lovely, plus it's super cuddly.

This quilt is made with two different blocks that fit together to make the pleasing design.  It's suitable for skill level confident beginner and up.

I used a fun purple thread for the quilting.  It's Nile Delta King Tut  by Superior, which you can also purchase from Connecting Threads.  The batting is Tuscany Supreme Unbleached Cotton by Hobbs.  (My favorite batting!)  It makes such a plush, cuddly quilt.  This quilt was designed in EQ8.

If you make a Tango quilt, I would love to see it.  Please tag me with your photo on Instagram or Facebook @curlicuecreations.

Checkerboard Chain Quilt and Pattern in Connecting Threads

This is my Checkerboard Chain quilt.  I've been showing pics of it on Facebook and Instagram this week.  Have you seen it?

I used yellow, blue, and white scraps to make my quilt.  I love the fun mix of prints.  Do you see the seahorses?

This quilt pattern is available through Connecting Threads as an instant pattern download and also as a kit featuring their Sunshine Terrace fabric collection.

I backed my quilt with this groovy blue celestial fabric, also from my fabric stash.

I bound it with solid cheddar.  Yum!  I've been loving this color in quilts lately.  I would love to see it make a comeback.

The finished size of Checkerboard Chain is 44" x 52".  Great for a baby quilt, a throw, or a lap quilt.

Sunshine Blue Skies Quilt and Pattern in Connecting Threads

This is the Sunshine Blue Skies quilt that I've been sharing peeks of with you on Facebook and Instagram this week.  It's available through Connecting Threads as both a pattern and a kit.  The kit includes fabrics from Connecting Threads Sunshine Terrace fabric collection, as shown in the above photo.

I made this version of Sunshine Blue Skies using blue and yellow scraps from my stash.  

This quilt features two paper pieced blocks.  This one...

...and this one.  The two blocks together create a happy spinning windmill look.

I used Hobbs Thermore batting which is a thin lightweight batt, perfect for a summertime quilt.

Sunshine Blue Skies finishes at 41" x 50", just right for a lap quilt or a small picnic quilt.

Sunshine Blue Skies ready for some front porch sitting.

Here's a close up of the loopy meander quilting.  I used a yellow color changing thread by Superior, King Tut for the quilting, Sunstone.  The piecing was done with Aurifil thread and everything was stitched with Schmetz needles.

I used a piece of Bermuda by Island Batik for the backing.

I had just enough of this pretty blue and yellow flower print to use it for both the outer border and the binding.

Here it is, hanging over the front porch railing.
