It's that time of the month...yeah, you know...it's Quilty Box time! Click Here to subscribe to Quilty Box and join me each
month making a new quilt top. I love challenging myself to make a new quilt each month with the fabrics included in the box. Here's the Quilty Box tutorial for this month:
This month's Quilty Box was one of my favorites and filled with beautiful fabrics and fun quilting supplies picked by Jena Brandvig from Quilting in the Rain. I loved the fabrics Jena designed for the box which are delicate floral prints in light pink, blue, and green colors.
I instantly thought of picnics in the spring and bright sunshine on a crisp white
quilt. I knew I wanted to use all eight fat quarters with white fabric to create a simple quilt.
Right now my favorite part of this quilt is the cheerful fabrics, but I know once I start quilting it, I'll love the big open blocks and cornerstones even more. This quilt is made for fun machine quilting and you could easily quilt a different design into each square. Contrast your thread slightly with a bright pink, blue, or green so you can see where you're quilting and keep track of which
blocks you've filled.
If you subscribe to Quilty Box, you've probably already seen the sneak peek for next month. Yep, that's me -- I've put together an awesome Quilty Box for you next month and we're going to not just piece the quilt, but also quilt it step-by-step together! Last week was all about Hoop Quilts as I shared the podcast with Anne Marie Chany last Wednesday and now I've finished my Hoop Quilt using ruler foot quilting. I decided to challenge myself and use the curved edges of Dresden Templates #2 and
#4 to create this cool design in the center of the quilt.
I love, love, LOVE this effect, but it was a bit challenging to create.
While no, my quilting wasn't perfect, I really enjoyed creating this hoop quilt.
I've played around with using the curves on the Dresden Plate templates a bit on a practice sandwich, but you know there's nothing like trying a new technique on a real
quilt.
It really takes the challenge up another notch.
So that's it for this week. We hope you're having a good start to the fall season. Stay tuned for some fun autumn themed projects coming up soon.
And please remember to check out our shop this week and take advantage of our 15% off
sale, using the FALLSALE coupon code. We really appreciate your support! Click Here to shop now.
Let's go quilt,
