EASY SUMMER FUN #261

Summer Fun 1

 

LEVEL – Beginner.

SIZE – 60″ x 71″

Summer Fun 2

This is truly a beginners project using one easy block, to produce this wall or throw quilt.

Different Kaffe prints in the sample quilts here make it sizzle and putting it “On Point” just adds more interest.
Both the focus and background blocks start with 10″ squares making an efficient use of fabric.

Two versions of this quilt are included in the pattern.

I would love to see different versions of this quilt-perhaps without using Kaffe fabrics or black and white as the background squares.

Email me your version.

Summer Fun 3

I have used an extra wide binding for this quilt with a narrow false border just inside the binding.

Full instructions with diagrams included if you have not done this before.

DREAM BIG – HOFFMAN DIGITALLY PRINTED FABRIC PANEL. #264

AURORA

ROSE

OPAL

This is a panel that lends itself to practice your free motion quilting skills and patterns whether you are a relative beginner or have some prior experience.

I sandwiched the panel using two layers of batting. This allows the areas that you do not free motion quilt to puff up and give your flower more dimension. I used the temporary spray adhesive. Having no safety pins in the work is a bonus!

I then chose three colours or shades of embroidery thread to quilt the panel. The panel changes colour or shades as you work your way out to the edges. One of your threads could be your bobbin thread throughout the project.

I simply outlined the petals and echoed that outline on the INSIDE of each petal. I made the echo wider as I got out to the larger petals.

On the blue/purple panel, called AURORA, I simply played with different feathers or feather related patterns in each petal.

On the pink panel, called ROSE, I played with different patterns, sometimes splitting the petal down the middle with a vein and doing a different pattern in each half.

The third panel for sale is unquilted and is called, OPAL.

If you look at my quilted panels you will find that they are far from perfect but I thoroughly enjoyed quilting both and found that having the small areas to quilt simply liberated my pattern choices.
Just have fun girls and don’t over worry about it. Simply treat it as a practice piece and you will be surprised with the end result.

Each panel comes 44″ wide and is 1 1/4 yds long. Aurora, Rose or Opal.

Price $16.00 a panel and $2.00 shipping.

Level-Absolute Beginners

Size – Beds
Throw or Twin  66″x86″
Queen              86″x96″
King                 106″x96″

I designed this quilt for beginners who wished to make a bed quilt for their home.

It is simply 8 1/2″ squares with a simple sashing on two sides of each square.  This accomodates the offset look of the quilt and makes it look more difficult that it actually is.  Sewn together in straight rows with two borders to complete.

Easy Easy Easy.

I used Philip Jacobs and Kaffe fabrics for a bright look but ou could use more conservative fabrics for a more subdued offset.
