New Quilt Pattern: Quickly Done - Winter Friends

 

Using my collection of Winter Friends (by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics) warm neutrals + a bit of red snowflakes, I made up this sample of Quickly Done, a layer cake pattern.

When you want an uber quick layer cake quilt pattern with very little matching and no sashing, Quickly Done is the pattern for you.

I must admit I was a bit apprehensive that it might be too plain, but it's not (IMO : ). I absolutely love how it turned out.

Ran short on fabric so made a couple of four patches to substitute for the layer cake/10-inch squares 


Can you see the squishiness? The wool batting + Cuddle backing (first time Cuddle user here) make the most luxurious cuddly quilt ever!!!


The longarm edge-to-edge quilting is the simple pantograph Loopy Snowflakes from Sew Shabby. 
Love her quilting pantos. They always stitch out so smoothly.


Go ahead. Reach in there and give this quilt a squeeze. You know you want to : )
I think all our winter quilts from here henceforth need Cuddle minky backings and wool batting.


The Quickly Done quilt pattern is written with five sizes -
Baby 50" x 50"
Throw 63" x 75"
Twin 75" x 100"
Queen 100" x 113"
King 113" x 113"

And includes instructions for layer cake/10" squares or yardage.

Available in paper or digital format in my shop.

Happy quilting, everyone!

Little Tree Log Cottage Quilt

 

My oldest work in progress (one of two - I don't like WIPs) is quilted, bound, and ready for Christmas 2026!!!


Pieced December 2019, I'm so happy to have this Little Tree version of my Log Cottage pattern finished.


Log Cottage is a jelly roll/precut 2 1/2" strips quilt pattern available with six sizes - 
Baby 48" x 48"
Throw 60" x 72"
Twin 72" x 84"
Full 84" x 96"
Queen 84" x 96"
King 108" x 108"


Want to cut your strips, that's covered as well.


For quilting I used the String of Snowflakes edge-to-edge longarm quilting pantograph from The Quilting Mill. Such an easy, light, fun quilting panto.


The quilting shows up amazingly on the flannel backing. And I just noticed how good the binding looks with the backing! Love!


The Log Cottage Quilt Pattern is available in my shop in printed and digital formats.

Happy quilting, everyone!

New Quilt Pattern: Beautifully Made


A little simpler to piece but just as beautiful as its sister quilt pattern Beautifully Done, it is my pleasure to introduce Beautifully Made.


Beautifully Made is designed for layer cakes (10" precut squares) but also includes instructions for yardage, fat quarters, and fat eighths.


Do you like size options?  Beautifully Made includes five sizes - 
Baby/Lap 48"x 60"
Throw 60" x 71"
Twin 71" x 83"
Queen 94" x 94"
King 106" x 106"


Longarm quilting is the gorgeous Hanging Lanterns edge-to-edge long arm pantograph from My Creative Stitches. With a nod to classic clam shell quilting, Hanging Lanterns adds so much grace and beauty to the quilt top.


The recipient isn't afraid of a little boldness, and she chose a lovely darker purple thread. Gorgeous!!!!


Fabric prints are mostly from the lovely Evenfall line from Lewis & Irene. Sashing and background are a charcoal color Tilda solid, so lovely with a wonderful feel and drape. Binding is another Tilda solid, the perfect finishing touch.

The Beautifully Made quilt pattern can be found in my shop here, both digital and printed-mailed options available.

Happy quilting, everyone!
Anna : )
