Work in Progress - Ma Maison

You may remember the lap sized quilt and pattern I made for the Moda Bake Shop quilt back in December 2015 called Ma Maison.

Over the past few months, I have received numerous questions on how to make the quilt in different sizes, so I have decided to write a full pattern for the quilt design all the way from baby size up to king size.  I am also remaking the quilt in some more "me" colors.

I started my new version of Ma Maison with a jelly roll of Denyse Schmidt's Shelburne Falls line.  I love its vintage, scrappy feel.

The blocks came together quickly and easily.

The toughest part was figuring out what I should use for the sashing.  I started with a Kona white and then tried yellows, blues, low volume, and almost everything in between (I made a but of a mess of my sewing room in the process).  I finally settled my initial Kona white because I felt that the other colors and prints competed with the blocks. too much.

The quilt top is now basted and in the "ready to quilt" pile.  Hopefully, I will get it quilted and the full pattern finished soon.

EDITED:  It seems like the tutorial has not posted on the Moda Bake Shop yet due to a scheduling error.  Once the tutorial is published on the MBS, I will link to it from here.

I am very excited to have another Moda Bake Shop tutorial posted today, please hop over and check out Ma Maison. Thank you to all who are visiting from the Bake Shop!

My goal for this pattern was to expand off of my Brick Border pattern that was part of the Trifle Quilt-a-long at the Moda Bake Shop.  I made a lap sized quilt using one jelly roll of the Petite Prints Deux collection by French General (along with some background yardage). This is a very beginner friendly pattern which comes together very quickly with almost no seam matching.

I had a lot of fun quilting this quilt.  I used a meandering feather in the sashing and a diagonal cross-hatch pattern in the brick rows.  

I had originally called this pattern Yellow Brick Road, but then discovered that was already the name of a very popular pattern.  Many thanks to Stephanie of Late Night Quilter who suggested the new name of Ma Maison.  I also want to thank Paige of Quilted Blooms for reviewing and helping to improve the pattern so much.

One of things I love best about quilt design is playing with the effect of color and fabric have on the overall look to the quilt. Here is Ma Maison rendered in three different popular Moda collections.

This quilt is going to be gifted to a co-worker who has had a tough year heath and family-wise.  I think that quilts are hugs made of fabric and I hope that my co-worker feels my hug when she gets this.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
