I have a few work-in-progresses to update you on:
1. Grande Scrappy Tiles
I have a pattern called Scrappy Tiles which looks like a randomly pieced top but is a layer cake pattern which contains baby, toddler, and lap sizes. I have been asked multiple times if the pattern can be enlarged to a twin or queen size. The pattern can be used to create larger sized quilts, but the number of fabric pieces starts to get a little ridiculous.
Therefore, I decided to create Grande Scrappy Tiles, using the same block pattern as the regular Scrappy Tiles but making 24" square blocks instead of 12" square. The result is the same great scrappy look using many fewer pieces (and only 16 blocks for a queen size quilt) with cutting instructions for 1/4 yard cuts and fat quarters.
Here is my queen size quilt top that I made using the April Showers collection by Bonnie and Camille along with some coordinating solids and prints. Once this is quilted and bound is is going on my bed (the last bed in the house without a homemade quilt).
2. Sea Star
This is one of my oldest work-in-progresses, the first block being shown on the blog a full year ago. The quilt uses Kona blue plus signs and creates stars as a secondary pattern. I am excited to start quilting and finish this one up, right now I am planning on using an all over open swirl pattern.
3. Plus Plus
I have a new pattern coming out in coordination with my stop on the RJR solids blog hop on April 26th. The baby and lap size quilts are finished and the pattern is with testers right now. Here are just a few sneak peeks of the finished quilts, a baby size and a lap size.
I am very happy to link up with Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts, Needle and Thread Thursday @ My Quilt Infatuation, and WIP Wednesday @ Freshly Pieced.
I love your sea star. Those are some of my favourite colours and I love the way the triangles combined with the rectangles give the effect of curves. Depending on your timing I'd be happy test the baby size for you.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much I want to say about each one, but there are kids to get ready for school. So, in lieu of that I'll just say how ridiculously talented you are! :) Each and every one is beautiful. And the quilting in the last picture....yum.
ReplyDeleteSea Star is just gorgeous! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work, I would love to test your sea star pattern if you still need a pattern tester! I love stars on quilts!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Cheryl! I am so impressed with the number of patterns you are working on and creating. I am especially drawn to the colors you used in the Sea Star quilt. And I am also hopeful that your friend finds some calm soon.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely enjoy testing your pattern. Love the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns. Sea Star especially appeals to me. If you need a pattern tester for this or other quilts, please let me know. Put me on your list. My email is Camille@focus20.com
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts, Cheryl. Depending on time frame, I'd be happy to test a pattern. I love stars, love how you have the secondary design in that quilt. I love scrappy too, so either pattern is good if you still need testers.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilts and would love to test a pattern for you. Let me know the timing you are looking for!!
ReplyDeleteI love your solids quilt! the colors are so great!

I love your designs and could be a pattern tester for you!
ReplyDeleteHi! I've dreamed of being a pattern tester. I would love to test the Sea Stars and the Grande Scrappy Tiles. I've the perfect group of fabrics I pulled, sitting on my shelf just waiting for something like the Stars, and I think the Scrappy Tiles would look great for a boy - with plaids, stripes and solids which I also happen to have. Let me know if I can help - plk0429 at gmail dot com.

ReplyDeleteScrappy quilts are my favorite and I would love to be a pattern tester for you!
ReplyDeleteLove your Sea Star... such simple blocks, but a really striking design. You had me at Kona blues though! And the quilting on your plus quilt looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in testing the patterns for you as well. The lap size scrappy tiles would work well as a comfort quilt for my guild and I also love the Sea Star but I see you have lot's of takers on that one.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, Cheryl, specially love the colours on the Sea Star quilt.

Sea star is amazing! Those colours are gorgeous, and the secondary star pattern is really fun.
ReplyDeleteWow Cheryl I love Sea Star! And I am more than a little intrigued by Plus Plus! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe quilts are fabulous! My favorite pattern is the Grande Scrappy Tile...Want to make one for myself :) How can I get the pattern? Enjoy your day!
