Allegheny Pattern Release

🌱It's pattern release day!  Allegheny is now available!



Allegheny is the perfect quilt pattern for those that love to make Flying Geese and for those that would like some practice making them :)

Just eight 1/4 yard cuts (fat quarters will not work with the cutting) and you are off to a beautiful throw sized quilt.

Allegheny is available in my shop and Etsy for $2.25 off the list price now through Monday, August 26th (no coupon code needed).


NO WASTE FLYING GEESE

Have you ever made flying geese using the no-waste method?  It is my favorite method way to make flying geese, I think that it is the easiest, quickest, and most fabric efficient method.  Sometimes though my flying geese used to turn out a bit small.

Enter my great friend Yvonne of Quilting Jetgirl.  She came up with new piece cut sizes and now my geese turn out perfectly with minimal trimming every time so Allegheny also uses these new cut piece sizes.  

You can find her flying geese cutting chart and instructions here for all different flying geese sizes.


NEW HEXIES VERSION

Allegheny was originally written and published for Connecting Threads and I had plans on releasing it on my own, but it remained stuck in my to-make list for many months.

Northcott picked up the pattern for their New Hexies for Banyan Batiks and asked if I would be willing to make a sample for the H&H Americas show in May.  I loved the rainbow of the New Hexies and quickly agreed.

I do not tend to sew with many batiks and had never tried Banyan Batiks, but this won't be the last time I use them!  They were so vibrant, soft, and frayed less than regular quilting cottons.  I did prewash all of the fabrics to make sure there was no dye blending.

There are 8 new Hexie colors in the New Hexies collection (which is a fabulous blender) which will be in shops in January 2025.



I made the cover quilt using a light background, but I also rendered it with a dark background.



Northcott sent me this fun turquoise batik for the backing.




RUBY STAR SOCIETY VERSION

Allegheny had the honor of being selected for the Ruby Star Society lookbook for the Favorite Flowers collection.  For this version I used 8 prints from the collection along with a low volume print from the collection for the background.   

You can see the quilt in the Ruby Star Society lookbook, page 151 (shows as pages 153 on Issuu).
