Nordic Snowflakes Color Option [12]

Watercolor Flower

Use fabrics that have a watercolor look to give the geometric quilt pattern a softer appearance. In this wall hanging version of the snowflake became a stylized flower. A multicolor mottled print provides an interesting backdrop to the flower while still being calm enough to prevent visual overload from multiple busy prints.

Rings of Color

Star Patch [24]

Designer: Marcie Patch of Patchalot Patterns [25]

Star Patch Color Option [27]

Pretty in Pastels

Tone-on-tone pastel prints result in a version of Star Patch that has less contrast than the original. Because this quilt used fewer fabrics than the original scrappy quilt, you can take advantage of strip-piecing to save a bit of time.

Lost at Sea [30]

Designer: Annette Plog [31]

 

Navy-and-shirting Lost Ship blocks are simply set side by side for a scrappy throw with historical appeal.

Lost at Sea Color Option [33]

 

Sailing Ships

 

Lost Ship blocks rotated 180° form bright orange and orange-and-pink vessels swimming in a cream sea. A green print inner border provides an unexpected pop of cool color. The neutral background offers a great space for beautiful quilting.

A Delightful Pairing Color Option [40]

Quilt tester: Laura Boehnke

Fabrics: Modern Noir and Ice collections, both by Red Rooster Studio for Red Rooster Fabrics [10]

 

For the leaves in a neutral-color, fusible-applique version of A Delightful Pairing, play up the differences in five fabrics. Some leaves are cut from fabric with texture, such as moire, crackle, and ikat. Fussy-cut a floral to create leaves that look like buds and cut around leaf motifs, positioning the veins down the center of the leaf appliques.

Flight Plan [42]

Designer: Kimberly Einmo [43]

Fabrics: Artisan Batiks collections by Lunn Studios for Robert Kaufman Fabrics [44]


A bit of pre-planning and organization takes the guesswork out of strip-piecing the V units flying across this quilt. The bonus? No set-in seams!

Cheddar Baskets [58]
