I know as quilters that we're all partial to our quilts, and we love them (most of the time, except when they're driving us crazy) unconditionally, but I have to tell you - this really is one of my personal favorites. I love bright colors, and this quilt not only uses great fun bright colors, but I love this block. Say hello to my newest
PDF quilt pattern, Color My World!
Originally
featured in Quiltmaker late last year, this quilt was sewn up in
Vanessa Christensen's first fabric collection for Moda, Simply Color. I still have a lot of these prints in my stash, because they are such great stash staples! I just love tonal prints like these, they go with everything. The PDF pattern is nine pages long, chock full of tips to help you plan out and sew up your quilt. There's even a coloring page to give you the opportunity to plan out your colors and fabrics before sewing a stitch!
This quilt is a block-based quilt, with a block that is centered around a classic snowball block. Using some simple squares placed methodically, a connection is created throughout the blocks. An additional connection is made by the way I staggered the blocks by color - and I just love the hexagons that are created where the blocks meet!
I had some great pattern testers run through this pattern and create some beautiful quilt tops of their own.
Kelie,
Jill and
Tsoniki, thank you all so much! I really appreciate your help, and I love the quilt tops you guys made :)

ReplyDeleteCool! And crazy how all of the ones look so different!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Elizabeeth! I love colours and I think it's the turquoise base that makes the magic. Also the block is fantastic! I love your colour choise and (sorry) the octagons that there comes where the blocks meet.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many patterns I would love to make! x Teje
