Two New Quilt Patterns Ready For Download

Hello All!  I'm excited to share with you two more quilt patterns that are ready for download on Craftsy & Etsy.

The Spinning Pinwheel Quilt is made from a Moda Layer Cake and was first featured in FatQuarterly Issue #17.




The quilting on this project was challenging with all the fabrics' different thread colors.  Fortunately, the fabric all had a white base to it so I was able to use white thread.  I used a small scale stipple in all the blocks, regardless of piecing lines.  This was my first try with that and I really liked how it turned out.  the sashing was done using a meandering leaf vine & alternating swirls.



The "Eye Spy With My Little Eye" Quilt is made using scrap novelty fabric and was first featured in FatQuarterly Issue #16. 



This quilt was quilted using an edge-to-edge lasso pattern with free-hand 5 pointed stars to add interest.
I hope you like them and would enjoy making a quilt from one of these new patterns.

Enjoy!

Jelly Turnover Quilt Pattern Correction

How embarrassing!   My apologies, there was one typo in the Jelly Turnover Quilt feature I wrote for Moda Bake Shop.   I typed 16 when I mean 8!  Oui!  That's what happens when you cut two strips at a time then forgot you cut 2 instead of one!  At any rate, here is the pattern correction.  You have my apologies:



The sashing section should read to take 23 jelly roll strips and sub cut them into widths of 4 1/2" inches to yield 8 rectangles per strip measuring 2 1/2" by 4 1/2". You will need 178 total (you will have 6 extra). (The pattern has 16 per strip written there which not only is impossible from a 40 inch length of fabric, but if you were to cut that many it would yield twice as many as needed.)


I hope this clarifies things for everyone making this project.  Also, I would love to see your completed projects.  Please share it with my flickr pool--a button is on my right hand side bar.

Happy Quilting Everyone!
