Scrappy Hearts quilt pattern

This happy scrappy heart quilt brought all the warm fuzzies as I was making it. It brought back a rush of happy feelings and really reminded me just how much I love quilting.

Scrap friendly quilt

Scrappy Hearts is designed with your scrap stash in mind. It’s a perfect quilt for digging through the scrap stash. Stick with one color like I did here with the pinks, or choose a few to make up your blocks.

The pattern does include fat quarter cutting instructions also.

Solid or scrappy background

The pattern for this heart quilt includes instructions for using both a solid or a scrappy background. I’m excited to make up a scrappy version using all of my low volume scraps as the background.

Baby, throw and twin

Scrappy Hearts quilt includes instructions for three quilt sizes! Make a baby size, throw size or a twin size. Or, make one block as a mini quilt!

Great beginner quilt

Scrappy Hearts is a perfect beginner quilt! It’s part of the Quilty Love simple series patterns which means it’s quick, easy and beginner friendly. This quilt goes together in no time.

Join us for the Scrappy Hearts Quilt Along!

The quilt along will take place on instragram under the hashtag #scrappyheartsquilt. Sign up for the weekly newsletter so you don’t miss a thing.

The quilt along will be short and sweet and should be easy enough for most quilters to follow along. I encourage you all to use your scraps for this one! The pattern does include fat quarter instructions also if you want to use fat quarters from your stash.

I used all pinks for my version of the Scrappy Hearts quilt. Majority of these fabrics came from my scrap bins with a few additional fat quarters from my stash. I love that this quilt can be made entirely from scraps! Especially if you do a scrappy background. I plan to do a scrappy background for my quilt along version. I’m so excited!

Scrappy quilts are just so much fun to make. They tend to bring back all of the happy memories of the previous quilts made with the scraps. I think that’s why I love them so much.

I dressed the baby in these cute vintage overalls from the 60s for a quick Scrappy Hearts photo shoot. She’s busy these days so you have to work quick with her!

I had this pretty yellow floral fabric in my stash for the backing. I’ve been saving it for the perfect quilt and I love how it pairs with this pink heart quilt. The fabric is a floral by Sevenberry for Robert Kaufman.

Quilting

I quilted this Scrappy Hearts quilt myself on the Janome MC6700p using a walking foot. This is the serpentine stitch that I love so much. It’s done the exact same way as the zig zag stitch in this tutorial but with the wavy setting instead.

I hope you guys loving making this quilt! You can grab a copy in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

Night Stars – Robert Kaufman Color of the Year – Enchanted

It’s time for the brand new Kona color of the year! The Robert Kaufman Kona color of the year is the gorgeous dark green color called Enchanted. I used the new color and made up a Night Stars quilt.

I was thrilled when Robert Kaufman reached out to ask if I would make a quilt using this new COTY. I made up the latest Quilty Love quilt pattern with it since it would highlight this new color so nicely.

Robert Kaufman kona solids are pretty much the only solids you will find in my stash. They have hundreds of colors and a nifty little swatch book to help plan out which colors to use.

The colors used in this quilt are Cypress, Ivory, Ice Frappe and Enchanted. I kept it monochromatic with this version. I love how it turned out!

The new Enchanted COTY serves as the background of this quilt along with the star centers.

These colors are rich and beautiful. The lighter colored cream stars tone down the bolder colors.

This Night Stars quilt was quilted by a local quilter. I kept it simple with one inch spaced waved lines.

I used Enchanted for the backing and binding of this star quilt. This feels like such a classic quilt with the simpler selection of colors.

This quilt will be traveling around the US (world?) for the next year in the Robert Kaufman COTY trunk show. It will be one of the six quilts in the COTY collection.

Night Stars can be found in my pattern shop. This the throw size version. It’s a nice generous throw size. The pattern also includes instructions for a baby size and a queen size.

Night Stars is a bold star quilt that has a few fun quilting techniques such as quarter square triangles, half square triangles and flying geese.

You can find Night Stars in the Quilty Love pattern Shop.

Enchanted by Robert Kaufman is available at your favorite quilt shops.

Night Stars Quilt – A bold star quilt pattern

I’m so excited to share this new pattern today! The Night Stars quilt pattern is brand new and in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

Night Stars Quilt Pattern

This quilt pattern is something a little different for me! The stars are no surprise along with the repeating blocks ;) But the bold colors are! Night stars is written around using yardage but also includes instructions for fat quarters.

Choose 5 of your favorite colors to make up this bold and striking quilt. Night Stars was designed with Christmas in mind so it will make for the prettiest Christmas quilt. Check out the Christmas color mock ups below.

I used the Alison Glass Kaleidoscope fabrics for my version. These are a cotton linen. I really love quilting with linens because of that extra texture but definitely know they behave differently than cottons. This blog post talks about quilting with linen.

Using the bold blue as a the background for this quilt was such a fun change! I tend to stick with whites so much mostly because I always have it on hand. I definitely want to branch out more with color like this.

Colors and yardage used for this throw size:
Lichen – 3/8 yard
Goldenrod – 5/8 yard
Daisy – 2 1/2 yards
Opal – 1 1/3 yards
Sapphire – 2 yards
Binding is Goldenrod.

Kona Colors
If you want to stick with Robert Kaufman Kona colors, here are the match ups:
A-Windsor, B-Azure (or Aqua), C-Ivory, D-Curry, E-Mustard

Night Stars makes for the prettiest bed quilt! Instructions include up to queen size. It was so much fun styling this quilt on my daughters bed. It looks so cozy on a bed.

This is an intermediate pattern as it includes making quarter square triangles, half square triangles and flying geese.

Quilting

Night Stars was quilted by my local quilter in this pretty loopy swoopy design. Ha… I have no idea how to describe quilt designs. I wanted something a little more flowing to go with the sharp points of the stars in this quilt. This quilt design gave it so much gorgeous texture.

Triangle Peaks – The Rifle Paper Co. one

Today I’m sharing another Triangle Peaks quilt. This time it’s a Triangle Peaks Rifle Paper Co quilt.

Fast and Easy Triangle quilt

Triangle Peaks is probably my favorite Quilty Love pattern to make. It’s a fast and easy triangle quilt that looks good in any fabric.

For this version of Triangle Peaks I used Rifle Paper Co’s Amalfi line with Cotton and Steel. I love how the bigger triangles in this quilt really show of the vibrant fabrics in this line. This line has all of my favorites: blues, corals and greens!

Triangle Peaks Quilt Pattern

The Triangle Peaks quilt pattern is a fast and easy one. It goes together using 60 degree triangles. I recommend this triangle ruler. A good triangle ruler is going to make all the difference! In fact, triangles are pretty easy to put together when using a good triangle ruler.

Triangle Peaks includes instructions for a baby size, throw size, twin size and a queen size. This Rifle paper co version is the throw size. Measuring at 56in x 72in it makes for the perfect size throw.

This Amalfi fabric line includes some fun metallics in some of its fabrics. This line is a such a good color combo and I love how these big triangles really show off those prints.

Kaitlyn of Knot and Thread quilted this one in a modern loops design. The loops pair nicely with the sharp angles of the triangles in this quilt.

The smaller accent triangles in this quilt are an assortment of Robert Kaufman Essex Linen. They add some subtle color and texture.

This Triangle Peaks quilt is finished off with a bright backing from the Rifle Paper co line and bound with a modern wider stripe. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of using a striped fabric for quilt binding!

Triangle Peaks is one of my go to quilt patterns since it sews up beautifully in solids and prints. It’s one of the more popular quilt patterns in the Quilty Love line up.

Materials used:
Triangle Peaks quilt pattern
Amalfi fabrics from Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton and Steel
Striped black and white binding
Background is Kona Cotton in White
Pieced on a Janome MC6700p
