Yeah, it’s that time of year again. I enjoy looking through all the quilt inspiration that the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival offers.
My quilt idea all started with this fabric.
First, the idea became a pillow when the Hope Valley line came out. I used Joelle Hoverson’s technique for her Little Bits quilt. I designed it by stacking the blocks and liked the effect so much that I started a quilt. It got pushed aside with the book quilts taking front stage.
My favorite quilts of the year are in the book, or not yet finished, but Split Decision is up there.
As I spread it out fresh from the dryer, I was in love. It went straight to the shop for a class sample, but I’ll look forward to the day when I can lounge under it.
Especially because of its buttery flannel back.
I framed it out with the pink for binding.
I think the loops make it fun.
I’m hoping next year with the book likely being on the shelves to have a real reason to go to market.
Very striking quilt and I love it in your blog header! This is one of my favorite fabric lines too …. very fun 🙂
love this quilt and the loopy lines of the quilting! I also just love this fabric line ~ I’m doing a quilt with it too (it’s just sitting there waiting to be sewn).
Great quilt! I love the pinks & oranges together AND your swirly quilting! Very fun.
Lovely quilt and lovely fabrics.
I love pink and orange together; I think I might have made that comment for this quilt before . . . on another post of yours . . . at least I thought it. Oh to get older and have the mind go. hahaha.
You’re a sweet lady Lisa!
Yum. Love this simply sweet and elegant quilt. Good stuff, K.
I love this quilt, and I love your blog. Now I just wish I lived closer so I could take a class from you! : )
Beautiful quilt!
I’m feeling left out of all the fun at Quilt Market too…can I jump in your suitcase next year?
Gorgeous quilt!!
Love this quilt so much! And looking forward to your book…
; )
I love the pink binding!! What a great quilt!
Loved the pillow … ADORE the quilt! One of these days I have to find the time to take your class!
would love to see your smilin’ face.
is there any chance you can sell the pattern to those of us not in the seattle area that would like to make this quilt?
thank you.
Joelle Hoverson’s book Last Minute Patchwork and gifts has the basic technique under the Little Bits Quilt. Just keep making and stacking the bits. I don’t feel it’s far enough from the original design for me to sell it. Let me know if you have further questions though.
What a happy bouncy design. Very sweet!
I love this quilt. the inspiration and colors you used are fantastic.
Your quilt looks great. I love the fabric and the design. The loopy quilting looks great too!
Great quilt and love the pillow. Fun quilting. I’m in central WA but have kiddos on the west side. Modern quilting seems perfect for Seattle! I like both modern and traditional…love all fiber arts actually. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
