Up the Ladder Pattern Release

I am happy to announce the release of my Up the Ladder quilt pattern !  The Up the Ladder pattern is now available (with a limited time intro price):

My Pattern Shop

Etsy

The throw sized version of Up the Ladder was initially released as part of the Quilt Theory collaboration.  It was a wonderful group of seven modern quilt pattern designers that created postcard sized modern quilt patterns.

Over the years I have been asked about the availability of Up the Ladder so I decided to expand the instructions (it went from the back of a post card to a four page, full color pattern with a coloring page) and also add a baby size layout.

Up the Ladder was inspired by traditional quilt ladders used to showcase and store quilts and is a scrap friendly design that combines beginner level piecing into a strong geometric design. 

This picture and all of the beautiful throw sized quilt pictures were taken by Michelle Bartholomew.

FABRICS & MATERIALS

The throw sized cover quilt was made using Michael Miller Cotton Couture Solids.  The baby sized version was made using some scraps from my Camden Road quilt on a white background.

I used my favorite Warm & White batting by the Warm Company and Aurifil thread for the piecing and quilting.

ABOUT THE QUILTING

For the throw version of Up the Ladder I used a topographical looking all over quilting design.  For the baby version I went with a bear claw (sometimes also referred to as an open swirl) all over design.  Both designs are fun, beginner friendly and give a good texture to all of the white background fabric.

Up the Ladder is a scrap friendly, modern quilt pattern that contains instructions for baby and throw sizes.
