New Pattern: Razor's Edge Quilt - Bloggers Quilt Festival

Meet my Razor's Edge Quilt!!

I am in love with this quilt.  I designed this quilt with the hopes of breaking into my Anna Maria Horner stash that I had been saving for that "special" project.  The pattern is now available on Craftsy.

I had some help from my Stash Sewciety bee ladies who tested the pattern for me and they did an amazing job.

This quilt measures 78" x 98" finished but the size is easily adjustable and it's the perfect scrap buster project.

I am linking this quilt up with Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival in the Large Quilt Category.

Blogger's Quilt Festival 2015 / ROYGBIV Category

I always love when it comes time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival!  There is so much inspiration in one place.  If you haven't had a chance to go check out the amazing quilts that have been linked up you really should!  You can do that here.

I have decided to enter, Radiant, in the ROYGBIV category!

You can see the original post about this quilt here.

I think the matched binding is my favorite part.

This is my own design as well!  The pattern will be released soon.  

This quilt will always have a special place in my heart.  This quilt has changed my future dreams and has impacted the direction I want to go in the "quilting world".  And that is part of the reason that I chose the name, "Radiant".  This quilt illuminated my path.  I will treasure it always.

Blogger's Quilt Festival 2015 / Modern Quilt Category

There are so many swaps popping up in the IG community and I decided to participate in the Cotton and Steel Mini Quilt Swap.  I designed this mini for my partner, who has yet to receive this.  All of the fabrics that I used are from the Cotton and Steel lines.  

I love working with the ROYGBIV palette!

I am entering this mini quilt into the Modern Category of the Blogger's Quilt Festival.

My partner requested a mini that was modern, minimalistic, and colorful.  I don't always do well with being minimalistic when it comes to quilt design but I tried my best.  I hope that she will enjoy what will be coming her way soon.

Some stats:
18" x 18"
Foundation Paper-Pieced and Quilted by me
Warm and Natural Batting
Quilted with Aurifil 50wt Cotton Thread

Etno Blog Tour

I was so excited when the lovely and amazingly talented Pat Bravo asked me to be a part of the Etno Blog Tour.  She sent the most gorgeous fabrics for me to play with!  If you have missed out on the tour, you can find all of the details here. 

As soon as I laid eyes on these beauties I knew I had to create something that would embody the nature of these prints.   I sketched out my idea and went straight to work.  I love how all of these prints play so well together.  This collection has some large scale prints that would be perfect to use all by themselves but it also has some that would function as fantastic blenders or staples to add to your stash.  I have fallen in love with her low volume prints in this collection.  I would buy a whole bolt if I could!

Oh and don't even get me started on the feel of these fabrics!  Art Gallery is known for the luxurious feel to their prints.  There are no words to describe them!

After the agonizing decision of trying to decide which fabrics to cut into first, I quickly made progress on my pillow cover.

I can't say enough about how gorgeous and inspiring this collection is.  If you are in a sewing rut, this is the collection to get you out of it!

Thank you Pat, for letting me play along, it has truly been a pleasure!  Your designs are inspiring and I can't wait to get my hands on your upcoming collection, Artisan! 

And if you have missed any of the stops on the tour you should go check those out.  There are so many amazing projects that will surely make you want to run to your machine and start working away!  Yesterday, Kathryn of Upitis Quilts posted a modern table runner, and I know Abbey will have something wonderful for you to see tomorrow!
