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.
Hello! Welcome to the first day of the Sunflower Spice blog hop! Thanks for stopping by. Sunflower Spice is my new signature fabric collection with Island Batik, Lumin Fabrics, designed by Jerry Khiev.
Disclaimer: The fabric used to make these quilts was given to me by Island Batik Lumin Fabrics.
The Sunflower Spice collection is a beautiful rainbow of fabric: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. Designs include sunflowers, leaves, tossed petals, and foliage. It is simply gorgeous and has something for everyone. You can make a rainbow quilt, or a cool lime, teal, and purple quilt, or a sizzling hot red, yellow and orange quilt, and so on and so forth and what have you. The combinations are endless. I love it. I hope you do, too. The Sunflower Spice fabric collection and accompanying patterns should be arriving local quilt shops now.
I made four new quilts and patterns to support the Sunflower Spice fabric line. Here are my quilts:
Any Which Way
This playful design incorporates flying geese blocks in thirteen different colorways and are arranged "Any Which Way" to create the design. I love the secondary design where the blocks come together, it's kind of like an extended four patch. This quilt finishes at 56" x 72" and includes instructions to make a dark version as well. To see more pics of this quilt and learn more about it, read my earlier blog post, here: Any Which Way Quilt and Pattern - NEW! The pattern is available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy shop as either a PDF instant download or a paper copy via US Mail.
Patio
The Patio quilt was inspired by a childhood memory. As a young girl I loved jumping back and forth on my Grandmother's patio, twisting my feet to land the same direction as the bricks. This quilt is all about the simple joys of being a child. The variety of bright rainbow bricks criss crossing this quilt top are made with a stitch and flip technique. They are very easy and fun to sew. This quilt finishes at 82" x 90". The pattern is available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy shop as either a PDF Instant Download or a paper copy via US Mail.
Rivulet
Rivulet uses all 20 of the fabrics in the Sunflower Spice collection and can be made with a fat quarter bundle. This rainbow diagonal design is made with half square triangle units and also uses solid black and white fabrics. The finished quilt measures 42" x 50" for a great couch cuddler, throw quilt, or child size. The pattern is available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy shop as a PDF Instant Download or a paper copy via US Mail.
Sonata
The fourth quilt I made with Sunflower Spice is Sonata. If you follow me regularly, you know I love to do fusible applique. I usually have at least one fusible applique pattern in every collection. This time around it's a colorful flower design with strong black sashing to separate the blocks. Notice the circular design created where the blocks and sashing come together. This quilt uses all 20 of the Sunflower Spice fabrics and can be made with a fat quarter bundle or quarter yard cuts, plus solid black, white, and yardage for the border. The finished quilt measures 59-1/2" x 73". The pattern is available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy shop as a PDF Instant Download or a paper copy via US Mail.
In conjunction with the Sunflower Spice blog hop, I am giving away a complete 20 piece fat quarter bundle of Sunflower Spice, along with a print copy of one of my new patterns (winner's choice).

Hello! Welcome to the first day of the Berry Crush blog hop. Thanks for stopping by. Berry Crush is my new signature fabric collection with Island Batik, Lumin Fabrics, designed by Jerry Khiev.
Disclaimer: The fabric used to make these quilts was given to me by Island Batik, Lumin Fabrics.
The Berry Crush collection features beautiful colors in a range of pinks and purples. The designs include berries, flowers, and foliage. It is simply gorgeous and my favorite signature collection so far. These fabrics make my heart happy. I hope you feel the same way. There are 20 fabrics in this collection. It should be in local quilt shops now.
I made three quilts and patterns to support the Berry Crush fabric line. Here are my quilts:
The Balcony Bouquet quilt was a joy to design and make. I used fusible applique for the flower blocks, which I just adore. The alternating pieced blocks are fun and easy to make and complement the applique perfectly. You can't see it well in this photo, but I custom quilted this piece. I will show off the quilting in a future post dedicated to the Balcony Bouquet quilt. This pattern is available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop as both a PDF download and as a paper pattern (via U.S. Mail).
Chimes
For the Chimes quilt, I went with a dark palette. As you can see, the Berry Crush fabrics glow against Island Batik's solid black. I used the dark blue Berry Crush fabric for the setting triangles in this quilt, and I just love the midnight effect it gives to the design. This quilt is also set on-point. All blocks are pieced. Get the pattern in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop today!
Lindy Hop
The third quilt I created with Berry Crush is Lindy Hop. If you love the look of curvy quilts, but don't enjoy sewing curved seams, this pattern is for you! Lindy Hop uses easy fusible applique to sew these crisp looking curvy blocks. I used the entire Berry Crush collection for this quilt and had a ball mixing up the colors and fabrics. You can use as many or as few Berry Crush fabrics as you like to make this stunning quilt. This pattern is now available in the Curlicue Creations Etsy Shop and select quilt shops across the USA.
In conjunction with the Berry Crush blog hop, I am giving away a complete 20 piece fat quarter bundle of Berry Crush, along with a print copy of one of my new patterns (winner's choice).

I quilted an allover loopy meander for this quilt. Lovely.

Hello! Welcome to my neighborhood. This is the Be My Neighbor quilt. It's one of my newest patterns, available now in the Curlicue Creations Etsy shop and select quilt shops around the U.S.A.
This is one of the five quilts I made to support my signature fabric collection, Sunlit Garden. This fabric is so bright and pretty! I love the reds, blues, greens, and white and the pretty flower designs by Jerry Khiev. It's an Island Batik (Lumin Fabrics) collection.
I've always loved house quilts and I've made a few of them over the years. Isn't this blue house block lovely? Do you see how it uses four different blue fabrics from the Sunlit Garden collection?
Here are some of the blocks up on my design wall as I was putting the quilt top together. It was fun to design and stitch the red, green, blue, and rainbow house blocks.
Quilting the Be My Neighbor quilt was a joy as well. It is fun for me to make quilts with different colors in the blocks. I quilted a loopy meander in an allover design with a light green thread.
