Paper Sun Quilt Pattern

The Paper Sun quilt pattern is now available, you can purchase it in my Etsy shop here!!

The pattern comes in five different sizes and is a fun and versatile design.  The pattern calls for four fabrics plus a background, it looks great in solids or prints!

This version is made from Pure Solids by Art Gallery Fabrics, the colors used were Dried Roses, Blossomed, Spruce, Parisian Blue, and Linen White.  The quilting was completed by Jamie at Quilt Drop, LLC using the Feathered Unfurled quilting design.

I also made a baby quilt using some scraps of Cotton + Steel and Birch Fabrics that I had in my stash, I just love the soft look of this one.

I also had an incredible group of pattern testers on this quilt, all of their quilts are beautiful, and they chose great fabrics.

Sue @SueViny has me dreaming of summer and warmer weather, it looks like she wrapped up the sun in her quilt!

Justine @greatheronhandmade used Ruby Star Society and made this incredible baby quilt, I absolutely love the pink and orange together!!

Michelle @mlsmith325 used green and greys (and accidentally made a Seattle Seahawks quilt) for this stunning version.  She also not only made the quilt top, but quilted and bound it in less than two weeks!!

Courtney @Courtcrafts82 used the Scarlet and Sage collection to make this red and green version for a Christmas present, she also used minky on the back to make it super snuggly!

Nadia @Sleepylittledarlings made a scrappy Christmas version using the Winterberry fabric line, this looks like another snuggly one!

Gwen @Gosewing81 made this adorable baby quilt and used an animal print as the background fabric, I’m sure this one will be loved for a long time!

Sue @susanquiltinator used Rifle Paper fabric and it’s so beautiful, I can’t wait to see this one all quilted up!

Ashley @oeiboymomquilts quilt is stunning with different shades of green, her color placement is spot on!

Jamie @quiltdrop used a dark blue fabric for her background and it’s fabulous.  I’m looking forward to seeing what quilting design she chooses, she always comes up with the perfect one.

Jennifer @jenn_tries_to_quilt made this baby version, those shades of blue and purple are the perfect color combination!

Tracey @ttabes80 made another gorgeous quilt and the pops of orange look so good, I love it!

I am so thankful for all of these amazing pattern tester, they did an amazing job and I couldn’t have done it without them!

Lattice Quilt

A few months ago my husband and I went on a fantastic beach vacation to Turks and Caicos.  His good friends were renewing their wedding vows for their 15th wedding anniversary, which made it an extra special vacation.  Since we were going to a beach, I obviously had to bring my beach themed quilt!

I made this quilt as a baby present for an old friend of mine, she and her husband are huge beach lovers so I knew I wanted something to go with that theme!  I had a layer cake of Kona Cotton’s Midnight Oasis collection and the blues, greens, and aqua worked perfectly.

I used Missouri Star Quilt Company’s tutorial for their Lattice Quilt.  The tutorial calls for four charm packs so I just cut my layer cake down into 5 inch squares.  I thought that the construction of the quilt top was very clever and simple.  When I originally saw the pattern I assumed there was a lot of sashing, but there wasn’t any at all which was fantastic.  The tutorial is a great one if you want to check it out.  https://quiltingtutorials.com/tutorial/the-lattice-quilt-quilting-made-easy

My friends are also huge dog lovers and when I saw this doggie newsprint fabric I knew it would be perfect for the backing!  I love text print for backing on a brightly colored quilt, it helps provide some balance and doesn’t’ take away from the quilt top.  I’m a little late giving this one as a gift but I know they will still enjoy the quilt!
