Love Patchwork and Quilting – Batik Blast Quilt

LQP_55_blog_cover

I love working with Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I have had the honor of several quilts being featured their magazine and every single time it is like Christmas when I get to see my quilt in the magazine. I worked with Me + You Fabrics for the first ever batik quilt in LP&Q. Yea! I am so excited to have a first and this quilt is just the best.

The variation of prints in the pinks, blacks, and whites really give this quilt so much texture. I am not a big fan of just three colors in a quilt but I really love how this turned out. It took my heart strings. And did I mention this is a big quilt too. I love a quilt that I can use on the beds as well as curling up on the couch. I have a feeling my girls will be taking this one.

This is the same pattern I used to make my Spool Dreams Quilt for the Carrie Bloomston lookbook. This pattern has all kinds of options for fabric choices. It really changes the look of the quilt too with the pluses being the dominate focal point with some fabric combos while others the spools really shine. Have fun with it. I can’t wait to see what you make.

ModSew:: Love Patchwork and Quilting issue 36

Ta Da!!!! I am so excited to share that I have a quilt project in issue 36 of Love Patchwork and Quilting.

I love the take on the wave block but bigger. I love big blocks because it is less tricky with the big pieces and well a couple of blocks and you have a big quilt. Love P&Q wanted blues in an ombre effect. So below is the quilt Joanna Marsh and I came up with. I really love it.

We used several shades of Art Gallery Pure Elements for the ombre effect but I think any fabric would be cool in this quilt. It is fast and an eye catching quilt. I really enjoyed making this and Joanna was awesome to work with.

Nautical but Nice Stephanie Kendron Joanna Marsh-1

I made a wave quilt for Heather Ross’s mendocino line for Windham Fabrics a couple of markets ago. I loved the pattern so so much because it is a big block and shows off the fabric line so well. For those that have asked… use this pattern and sub in those fabrics.

Go get a copy of issue 36!!!!
