22 colorblock quilt.

1.17.2012

I finished my first quilt of 2012 last week!  It's a repeat of the baby quilt I had made for Kelly awhile back, but this one is for a little girl.
 I have had a lot of requests for a pattern for this quilt, so I'll be releasing one within in the month or two.
I love the colors in this one, girly but with a little bit of an edge to it.  The kelly green really pops in the chevron stripe.
  I quilted this one the same way I did the boy version, with straight lines parallel to each block.
 The back is a lime gingham, and it's bound in my favorite gray, Kona Ash.
For the pattern, which sizes are you interested in?  This is a larger baby quilt, about 42" x 55".  Should I include a lap size and twin size as well?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on size, as well as any other input on what you like/dislike about quilt patterns!

I've made the circle quilt several times for friends and love the size! This looks like a great pattern and maybe not as time consuming as the circle quilt? Would also love a pattern to the ruffle quilt and any additional guidance you can provide on binding. We're still having trouble figuring that out but we usually "make it work" :) Thanks! Love your projects!

Oh, I love this quilt pattern. I love the colors in this one too! For some reason I'm all about 'bigger quilts' lately, but I usually just scale smaller ones out to fit so even just the dimensions for a smaller one would be great!

I just love the simplicity of this pattern. I have the boy version "pinned" to be made sometime this year. The girl version is just as beautiful.

I would second the shout-out for the ruffles quilt. I loved its debut, but never could find the tutorial.

Rachel Hauser said...

Look at you taking the time to start and stop all of those quilting lines mid-quilt. It's a great effect!

LuLu said...

That is just beyond adorable! Love it!

I could see this quilt on a larger (dbl/queen) bed. It would add great texture to a cleanly designed room. Super nice quilt!

I am SO EXCITED for the pattern! I think the larger baby quilt size you have pictured here is good, and it would be wonderful to see a twin-or larger size, too. I would definitely sew this up for my king-sized bed. :)

Amy said...

I love the fabrics you chose for this quilt! It looks amazing!

Lindsay said...

What a darling baby quilt! I love the chevron stripe in the middle. Can't wait to see the pattern.

Amy S said...

beautiful! I would love a twin size pattern and the size pictured!

Love the baby quilt ~ I love the idea that you made it into a larger size quilt ~ they outgrow them so fast. There is so much time, effort and most of all "love" put into them, I feel like they should be made larger. I prefer to make the lap size so they can be used much longer.

Amanda said...

That is SO beautiful! I'm impressed!

Jacey said...

Holly, this is just such a happy quilt! I love it! And your tag is lovely, too!

Kelly said...

Lap size, please! The crib size gets outgrown so fast, plus the lap is more versatile.

I absolutely love this quilt pattern! I am a novice quilter and an experienced quilting admirer, and I have been trying to figure out how to make this quilt at home. My best friend is having her baby shower in four weeks. Would LOVE to get my hands on the pattern!

Do you have a pattern for this quilt or at least the measurements of the fabrics?

Ramsey said...

I love this quilt! I wish patterns would give more sizes though. Like, explain it as a lap quilt but tell us how much extra material we'd need to turn it into a twin or even queen size. Having to figure out the math on that is frustrating.

Can't wait for the tutorial! I want to make a baby quilt! Maybe on the bigger size, but not as big as a lap quilt. Thanks!

Tara said...

I absolutely would love a tutorial! I have never made a quilt, but would love to make this one for my mom who is going through a divorce. Beautiful patterns and quilt! I wish I could just spend a few days with you. Your quilts are amazing!

I love this! Can you include measurements for a king size quilt, I'm already envisioning it on my bed!
