The Debbie Quilt - A Pattern

After I finished working on The Carol Quilt pattern, I knew that I wanted to make a lap size version of the Striped Chevrons Tutorial that I made almost 3 years ago (crazy!).  I have received several emails from people asking for fabric requirements, more detail, or instructions on how to make the quilt larger.

So I decided my next project would be a lap size version of this quilt with fabric requirements, diagrams, and more clearly written instructions.  Meet The Debbie Quilt!  It is a generously sized lap quilt at 65" x 74." The free tutorial will remain on my blog, but this pattern is easier to follow.  Also, this pattern is the perfect size to use with a jelly roll!

I had some wonderful, extremely helpful, and talented pattern testers test this pattern for me.

1.  Carol's Salt Water Taffy Quilt
I love that Carol used such a wide variety of colors, her quilt is stunning!

2.  Camille's quilt 
I was so excited when I saw that not only was Camille's quilt beautiful, but she used a dark background fabric for her version.  It gives the quilt such a different look!  And she used a Little Ruby jelly roll, I love how it turned out.

3.  Sally's quilt
Sally used a Cotton + Steel fat 8th bundle for her quilt and gave me some helpful suggestions on using smaller cuts of fabric for the pattern (thanks Sally!).  Her quilt is so bright and fun!

Finished size: 65" x 74"

What Shade Are You? Blog Hop & Giveaway

A few weeks ago RJR Fabrics contacted me to see if I was interested with working on a project using their solids.  I checked out their colors and was pretty smitten so I said yes. And they exceeded my expectations.  I mixed them in with some of the prints from Rashida Coleman Hale's new Mochi collection .  Since Cotton + Steel is actually a division of RJR fabrics, the RJR solids coordinate perfectly with the collections. The RJR Cotton Supreme Solids have a great selection of pinks (I think good pinks are the hardest to find) and my favorite is actually the neutral-y brown Driftwood color that I used for the binding.  It might not be cool to love brown, but I do, and Driftwood (color 297) will be filling a void in my stash.   The quilt looks more complicated than it actually is: each of the diamonds is made up of 2 triangles (so there are no y-seams) and I cut the fabric with my  favorite triangle ruler .      I didn't want the quiltin...
