Foursquare by Red Crinoline Quilts

I finished the Foursquare by Red Crinoline Quilts.  This one is a change from my normal sewing.  Most of my Civil War quilts are dark.  This one is light and bright.  The background is a tan on cream print.  I used a solid civil war blue for the set-in triangles.  Most of the colored blocks are tonal prints.  The outside border and binding is a solid Moda Bella Natural.  I just love how simple and clean the quilt looks.

I quilted with a very dense vintage rose pattern.

The simple nine patch was a very nice change from all the angles I had been sewing.

Thanks for letting me share.

Lilly by Red Crinoline Quilts

I have just hung the Lilly I finished last week from the new Red Crinoline 2014 patterns.  The pattern called for 18 different lights for the background of the pieced blocks.  However, I thought it looked took away from all the piecing in the blocks.

The alternating squares are a rosie pink from the Pin Money Collection.  The pattern showed a bubble gum pink, but I like the aged look this piece brings to the pattern.

The blocks have 18 different prints from various civil war fabrics.

I quilted the quilt using a Large Feather.

This is my favorite block.  I am not usually a purple fan.  But I just love the little pop of color that the purple brings to the quilt.

Parker's Crossing by Red Crinoline Quilts

I have been sewing a ton lately.  And over the next few post hopefully you can see some of the things I have finished.  First is the Parker's Crossing by Red Crinoline Quilts.  This is a new pattern that the Red Crinoline just released.  I was so excited to find fabrics that I thought look perfect for my living room.

The all over photo of our shop sample.

I quilted each block with a medallion.  I used a beautiful gold print for the alternate block and set in triangles.

I used a Brown star print from the Freedom Rings collection for the backing.

I love this black block.  My eye goes right to it every time I spread the quilt out.

Please note that if you are going to use this pattern, my copy had a typo in the cutting directions.  We have corrected all our copies at the shop, but if you get it from somewhere else please make the adjustment, or you will have several mis-cut blocks like me.  The gold alternate block should be cut 12.5".  The directions had 10.5".  

Thanks again for letting me share.

Due South by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co

I just finished quilting the Due South by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. 

 We used 20 light Fat Quarters and 10 Print fat quarters.  I think the lights are so comforting.  I love all the geese flying. 

The pattern makes a 72" x 80".  But the pieced border make it great for adjusting to a larger size by just adding an additional border.

I love the stars sprinkled in the geese.    The cool grey, bright blue, cozy greens and gold tones are so comforting.   I think it look so cool for summer.

I used a tan on cream backing to keep it light.  I quilted it with a butterfly and flower pattern.  

Thanks for letting me share.

Savannah by Red Crinoline Quilts

I have just hung the Savannah by Red Crinoline Quilts.  I just love how cozy and comfortable the quilts looks.  The large red floral border is just beautiful.

Very quick and easy to make. It was nice to piece a quilt that I didn't have to think about.  Just Sew..... 

I used a Moda 108" for the backing and quilted it with an allover Damask Pattern.

The pattern finishes with a large 94" x 94".  I think this might have to be a keeper for my house.

Thanks for letting me share.

Migration

I have just finished Migration by Calico Carriage Quilts.  I just love how complex their patterns look, but they are so simple.  The queen is a large 90" x 102".

I used the fabrics from the Harvest Palette by Molly B's Studio for Marcus Brothers.  Brown and rust are not usually my color palette, but I just love this combination.

 I quilted the quilt with stacked peacock feathers allover.  

 I chose the tan check from the same collection for the backing and used the rust print for binding.

Thank you for letting me share.

Little Trips in the Party of Twelve

I have had the Little Trips pattern by Glad Creations hanging on the bulletin board in my office for a few weeks and could not decide what I wanted to use with this pattern.

So when then I walked past the section at the shop that had the Party of Twelve fabrics it was just screaming Little Trips.  I think it looks so vintage.  Just like something my Grandmother would have made.

I tried to get an overall photo of the quilt.  But it is huge a 91" by 103".  

 I just love how the pieced border keeps the background square.  It makes the little trips just float.

 I had a hard time deciding how to quilt it.  But finally decided to quilt in the ditch.  I don't usually quilt in the ditch but this called for the extra work.

I picked out a simple cream with a little circle from the Party of Twelve and of course I had to bind it in blue.

Hopefully it will give you ideas of what to do with your Party of Twelve.

Thanks for letting me share.
