It's been several weeks since I first announced my Palette Picks bundle with Robert Kaufman! I made 5 quilts using this 24 piece fat quarter bundle and I think it's about time that I start sharing about them! If you missed the announcement blog post for the bundle, be sure to check that out before you keep reading! This was the only quilt that I made that uses ALL 24 fabrics. Of course, I tried to squeeze as many of the fabrics that I could into each of the quilts....but this one was super easy to display all of them! Here's what I did: Looking at the bundle, label the fabrics 1-24 starting at the top. So the Roasted Pecan color is number 1 and the light blue is number 24. Then here's the layout that I did within the quilt. . I revamped Celtic Crossing last year (which is when it then became Celtic Crossing 2.0) so that the pattern would lend itself to this sort of look. I just love playing around with this design and it really is perfect for this ombre gradient. Or if ombre isn't your thing, mix up the fabrics and have a completely random layout and that would look great too. Really, I feel like it's the perfect marriage of modern and traditional quilting and whatever layout you decide to do will be perfect! Since I have both warm and cool shades in this bundle, it was easy to figure out how I wanted these fabrics to appear within the quilt. I have pecan and gold in one corner, which blends well into corals and peaches. Above those are purples and blues, which really balance everything out. I tried to keep the darker, more saturated tones on the outside corners while everything blends together towards the center of the quilt. . I sent this quilt top (and all of my Palette Picks quilts) to Ashley of HenHouse Quilting. We did a pantograph called Arbor by Quilting It in just a cream thread to blend into the background. Speaking of Background, I used Kona Snow....the perfect off-white, not-too-creamy, not-too-stark shade of white. For this size quilt (Large Throw), you need 1-2/3 yards of Background or (22) precut 2.5
In case you missed it, Celtic Crossing 2.0 quilt pattern is now available! Ya'll know sharing pattern tester quilts is my favorite part of part of pattern releases! This pattern is a little bit different than a typical release, but it still needed testers none-the-less! If you haven't already checked out the details about Celtic Crossing 2.0, you can read the blog post about that here. Essentially, this a new and improved version of my original Celtic Crossing pattern. There are new sizes, ombre options, and instructions for precuts! Having testers help me tweak and finalize all of these new additions was crucial. I am always forever grateful for the work that they help me do....not to mention, they all make such gorgeous quilts! So let's take a look at them, shall we? First up, we have Jordan of @jordanandjoyco . She made used the Traditional (two-color) instructions to create a beautiful, soft and subtle Square Throw! This shade of pink is just the sweetest, and that backing print is one of my favorites! . . . . Next, let's take a look at Jenn of @jenniekay_quilts ! She created Modern Throw with multiple fabrics to create such a gorgeous rainbow display of colors! I love all of the florals in this one! . . Now let's look at the Traditional Large Throw quilt that Kara of @hollandhomesteaddesigns made! She used gorgeous yarn-dyed wovens, which surely create the most yummy texture! I also love green/teal combo....it was the perfect St. Patrick's day quilt for yesterday! . . Then there's the Large Throw that Laura of @finleyfabric created. Oh my word, these blues are electrifying! She really created such a seamless gradient. Well done, Laura!! . Have you seen a double sided quilt? What about an INVERSE double sided quilt?? Elizabeth, of @elizabethboltenstudios create two baby size quilt tops, which are the opposite of each other...on one side, the floral is the background and on the other side, the floral is the main print. Isn't this cool? She also has kits for this in her shop, which can be found here. . . . Next up, we have Kristin of @watersidehearth ! She made a Square Throw Traditional version that just oozes serenity and calmness. The the perfect quilt for the perfect view! . . . Last, but not least, we have Erin of @lovesewmodern! I absolutely love the pastel solids that you used....so much so, that I bought it from her! (haha) Be on the look out for the finished quilt soon! . . Since . Since this pattern is already well established on Instagram, there are also lots of really pretty inspiration photos over there! Checkout the hashtag #celticcrossingquilt to see what I mean! .

Celtic Crossing 2.0 Quilt Pattern is now available! In case you missed it, I released my new and improved Celtic Crossing pattern this week. It's similar to the old version, except that it now has 4 sizes, ombre layouts and instructions for precuts! You can read about the pattern changes in this blog post. When I was planning out what versions of the pattern I wanted to make for this re-release, I knew that I was going to need help. Beginner Quilting Academy was underway, and I had a lot going on! (It was a great problem to have!) Thankfully one of my pattern testers, Katie (@katesmakesandcreates) stepped up and offered to make this quilt for me! It was a HUGE help, and honestly, she did such an incredible job! She even print-matched the backing seam! I started off by sending her our Wintery Mix 20 piece fat quarter bundle. I curated this bundle a few months ago and I wanted it to have all of the wintery vibes. Flannel plaid, hot cocoa, snowflakes, little winter cottages.....it was so much fun to put together! . . . . . . . What I love about this bundle is that there is a mix of various textures. Theres are quilting cottons, yarn dyed wovens, fabrics with metallic accents....it's a fun group! . I played around with a digital mock-up of what I wanted the quilt to look like, then I sent it to Katie and she made it happen! For this version of Celtic Crossing, since it's a rectangle (Large Throw), I created an ombre gradient horizontally instead of diagonally. Most of the other Celtic Crossing quilts that I've made are square and have a diagonal gradient, which makes sense. But with a rectangle, it was looking a little funky and asymmetrical and I just couldn't seem to make it work. I also wanted to point out that the Large Throw technically only needs 13 fat quarters, and we used 20 for this quilt. This just means that we had more variety within the quilt and some extra fabric leftover. :) I mentioned this earlier, but she meticulously pieced this thing! All of the directional fabrics are going the same directions, there are even some areas where the prints line up seamlessly! Once the quilt was pieced, I had Katie sent it to Tawny Oland for quilting. She *just* released her new pantograph called Chunky Knit (long-armers, you can purchase it here!) and the moment that I saw it, I KNEW that I had to use if for this quilt! It adds that perfect knitted, handmade touch, that is the icing on the cake! . . . . For the binding, I decided to use Art Gallery Fabrics Magnetism (my go-to) because it really outlines the quilt well and is such a good neutral fabric. It goes with everything! . . . . For the backing, I used Snow Crystals Ash from Art Gallery fabrics. It is such a fun and dainty print....I love how it feels artsy and vintage! . . . . . . . . Overall, I think it turned out better than I envisioned! I don't sew with a lot of blues and teals, so I'm always a little nervous to go out side my comfort zone, but the end result was worth it! And while it's practically almost Spring (in North Carolina at least), I still really enjoyed creating a winter-themed quilt! If you want to make this exact quilt, we have a small number of kits in our shop! I've also listed this quilt for sale here! . .

In case you missed it, Celtic Crossing 2.0 quilt pattern is now available! Did anyone else's jaw hit the floor when they saw Amy Sinibaldi's new fabric collection, Velvet?? I know mine sure did. The first thing that struck me about the collection was her use of color! The pinks, peaches and teals feel light and airy, then the darker green really tones everything down and makes the palette feel earthy and rustic. I absolutely love how they all work together and offer a sort of balance in that sense. Then she threw in the lime green, which really sets the entire collection off! It just really feels perfectly balanced, and I was SO excited to make a quilt with them! . . . . . I really love how Amy creates so much interest with her florals! There's the perfect mix of small, medium and large scale prints and each one has a life of it's own. Overall, each one also seems to have a relationship with the next....if you will. I love the soft flower petals and whimsy stems, I just think this collection is so well done!! I'll be honest, my original plan for this collection was to make a Christmas Joy quilt without the sashing. I was going to inverse the background fabrics so that there would be more of each fabric for each block. Then, I was going to keep them in order so that each of the fabrics would visually relate to their neighbor...if that makes sense! Here's what it would've looked like: . . I then played around with mixup up certain block elements and came up with this: . These quilts would finished at 42

When I was planning out what versions of the pattern I wanted to make for this re-release, I knew that I was going to need help. Beginner Quilting Academy was underway, and I had a lot going on! (It was a great problem to have!) Thankfully one of my pattern testers, Katie (@katesmakesandcreates) stepped up and offered to make this quilt for me! It was a HUGE help, and honestly, she did such an incredible job! She even print-matched the backing seam! I started off by sending her our Wintery Mix 20 piece fat quarter bundle. I curated this bundle a few months ago and I wanted it to have all of the wintery vibes. Flannel plaid, hot cocoa, snowflakes, little winter cottages.....it was so much fun to put together! . . . . . . . What I love about this bundle is that there is a mix of various textures. Theres are quilting cottons, yarn dyed wovens, fabrics with metallic accents....it's a fun group! . I played around with a digital mock-up of what I wanted the quilt to look like, then I sent it to Katie and she made it happen! For this version of Celtic Crossing, since it's a rectangle (Large Throw), I created an ombre gradient horizontally instead of diagonally. Most of the other Celtic Crossing quilts that I've made are square and have a diagonal gradient, which makes sense. But with a rectangle, it was looking a little funky and asymmetrical and I just couldn't seem to make it work. I also wanted to point out that the Large Throw technically only needs 13 fat quarters, and we used 20 for this quilt. This just means that we had more variety within the quilt and some extra fabric leftover. :) I mentioned this earlier, but she meticulously pieced this thing! All of the directional fabrics are going the same directions, there are even some areas where the prints line up seamlessly! Once the quilt was pieced, I had Katie sent it to Tawny Oland for quilting. She *just* released her new pantograph called Chunky Knit (long-armers, you can purchase it here!) and the moment that I saw it, I KNEW that I had to use if for this quilt! It adds that perfect knitted, handmade touch, that is the icing on the cake! . . . . For the binding, I decided to use Art Gallery Fabrics Magnetism (my go-to) because it really outlines the quilt well and is such a good neutral fabric. It goes with everything! . . . . For the backing, I used Snow Crystals Ash from Art Gallery fabrics. It is such a fun and dainty print....I love how it feels artsy and vintage! . . . . . . . . Overall, I think it turned out better than I envisioned! I don't sew with a lot of blues and teals, so I'm always a little nervous to go out side my comfort zone, but the end result was worth it! And while it's practically almost Spring (in North Carolina at least), I still really enjoyed creating a winter-themed quilt! If you want to make this exact quilt, we have a small number of kits in our shop! I've also listed this quilt for sale here! . .
