I'll be sharing the second of the two new patterns this week (you can find the first, Raindrops, here) today and will be back tomorrow with a post all about a collaboration with FreeSpirit Fabrics.
Chloe is a beginner friendly pattern that utilizes half-square triangles to make a lap sized quilt. The pattern is both charm pack and layer cake friendly.
You can find Chloe (and Raindrops) on an introductory sale each for $10 through September 26th. In my pattern shop, you can combine these intro sale prices with coupon codes for more savings. Use the code "TWOPATTERNS" for $2 off 2 patterns and "THREEPATTERNS" for $4 off 3 patterns.
FABRICS & MATERIALS
Working with FreeSpirit, they were kind enough to send me the fabrics for this project. My version of Chloe used the True Colors collection and Fairy Flakes in Paper from the Linework Collection, all by Tula Pink for FreeSpirit (this might be a hint about the collaboration :) I love the bright colors of the True Colors collection on the crisp white background.
I love a striped binding and Tula has some great stripes where each stripe is ½" so it really makes a visual impact. I cut mine on the bias to get the diagonal look to the binding.
For the backing, I used Big Buds in Wonder from Tula's Curiouser and Curiouser Collection. All of FreeSpirit's sateen backings have a such a smooth finish and great feel. I love not have to piece a back too!
I used my favorite batting, Warm and White from the Warm Company, and Aurifil thread for the piecing and quilting.
If you would like to make this exact quilt you can find all of the fabrics to make your own "kit" (except the binding) in one shop, Modern Quilter, at Etsy (affiliate links):
- True Colors Charm Pack (prints) or Layer Cake
- Tula Pink - Linework Fairy Flakes - Paper (background)
- Tula Pink - Original True Colors - Stripes - Fern (binding) or an alternative option available from Modern Quilter is Linework Tent Stripe
- 108" Wideback Big Buds in Wonder (backing)
MANY THANKS
I would like to thank Yvonne @Quilting Jetgirl for her amazing tech editing skills and quilting ideas. I would also like to thank the Warm Company for the Warm & White batting (my favorite!) and FreeSpirit for the fabric.
I like the upside down middle column. I'm with your daughter😉
ReplyDelete❤❤❤ This quilt is gorgeous! I love it. ❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteI am the worst at following patterns, which I think is hilarious given that I'm a pattern writer. I guess I fell like, "well, I wrote the pattern, I should just know how it goes together" and then I get in trouble. I'm so glad FreeSpirit was great to work with and sent you more fabric to make a second version!
