I can't believe that it is already time for my second tutorial for Art Gallery Fabrics! This time I chose to make a baby quilt using 8 fat quarters from the LillyBelle collection by Bari J in the Warm Sunset Colorway, along with two Pure Elements Solids (white linen and spiceberry).
This quilt uses a traditional block called the Indian
Hatchet Album block, in recent years referred to as a Siggie Block. In the absence of signatures and some careful
planning of the fabric layout, the blocks appear to be bows. So I am calling this layout Baby Bows. I heavily quilted the negative space so let
the bows pop.
You can download the pdf pattern for this quilt from the AGF blog today. There are templates included as well as foundation piecing patterns so you can choose your method of construction. I normally opt for paper piecing but I made this quilt with templates to make sure it was doable-and it was!
If you'd like to win the 8 fat quarters used in this quilt, please leave me a comment. Maybe you could tell me which fabric collection debuted by AGF at quilt market is your favorite! I will draw a winner on November 12th.
So cute! How do I find the fabric collections?
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love Pat Bravo's Alhambra II
DeleteYou can find them all here. Generally the first couple designs from each designer are the newest ones. http://www.liveartgalleryfabrics.com/fabrics.html
ReplyDeleteAnd another awesome quilt! You always seem to come up with some awesome designs. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person at the next guild meeting.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a little powwow with Sarah Watson's upcoming Indian Summer. Love it. I haven't looked forward to a fabric line release as much as this in a long time. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quilt. I would so love to win the bundle used! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Amy! I love the quilting you did too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pattern - I'd love the Pure Elements.

ReplyDeleteI love this quilt!! I think it would be pretty in Summer Romance.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so cool. I'd love to win the FQ's.
ReplyDeleteI think this is gorgeous! I am a complete fabric junkie, and am trying to control myself on the fabric buying homefront, but at Quilt Festival yesterday, I did have to have some Rock 'n Romace.

ReplyDeleteVery cute. I have a nephew coming in Feb. so maybe I ought to give this pattern a try. It'd be cute in Indian Summer but I'm really loving Carnaby Street (even if it doesn't say "baby boy").
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting in the negative space! My favorite line might be Rock n ROmance by Pat Bravo or Textures by Angela Walters. They are all wonderful, though. Thanks for the chance to win - I have been wanting some LillyBelle!

ReplyDeleteLove your quilt, as always. Like the Color Me Retro, or the Rhapsodia (not sure if that is new or not!)
ReplyDeleteI do like that they appear to be bows, I think your quilting choice highlights that. From the AGF blog, my favorite fabric collection is the the Spellbound!
ReplyDeleteGreat pattern, thanks for sharing! I really like the way you quilted the negative space on your example! I adore my special plus bundles of Rhapsodia so much that I only finally cut in last week! Sold! I look forward to Indian Summer and more Natural Elements colors!

I would pick some of the rock n romance to play with, it is so out of the norm for me and sometimes we just have to jump out of our shells and go for it! Meanwhile, I would be just as happy to play with the fat quarters of Lilly Belle - no need to jump out of my shell to do that......
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting you did in the white space. And I love the Rock n romance collection they've just releaSED. tHANKS SO MUCH FOR THE CHANCE!
