Riley Blake Project Tour - Gingham Foundry

 

August also marks the release of another Riley Blake Fabric Collection from My Mind's Eye, Gingham Foundry.  this collection is refined and classic.  The color palette consists of navy, honey, mist, beehive, and cream.  The prints in the collection are florals, gingham, vines, stars, dots and text.  

I used the tiny florals, text prints, stars, dots and vines in navy, honey, cream and mist along with a Vintage Blue Shades as the background to create a very sweet throw, Gingham Grannies, which is a modern twist on a granny square block.  

The pattern for Gingham Grannies will be available in my   Esty Shop beginning September 12, 2021  

This is a very easy pattern to piece as there are no flying geese, half square triangles or anything else "fancy"   Alternating colorways makes for an interesting quilt as does the non-traditional background fabric.  

If you make this quilt, please tag me on Instagram so that I may see your version. 

Until next time ... Happy Sewing!

South Channel Stars Quilt

I have a new free quilt pattern for you.  I have decided to call it South Channel Stars after the beautiful night sky on Harsens Island here in Michigan.

South Channel Stars

This quilt measures 70 inches square and the blocks are 20 inches each.

I will be honest, I only have 3 blocks sewn together at this point but a few people have asked if there was a pattern therefore, I decided to publish the pattern.

If you'd like to make this quilt the pattern  which includes the yardage and a coloring page may be downloaded here. 

Just in case you are impatient, and would like to make a quilt a bit faster.  Here's a 6 block version of the quilt. 

The link to this version may be downloaded here.

I made this version for a very special young lady about to start medical school.  

Please tag me on Instagram so I may see you blocks & quilt. 

Until next time ... Happy Sewing!
