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.

Night Stars quilt pattern details

Night Stars uses yardage or fat quarters.
The quilt pattern includes instructions for a baby size, a generous throw size and a queen size.
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

Coins baby quilt

Today I’m sharing this sweet little Coins baby quilt. I made this one up a while ago using my friend Anna’s beautiful Forage fabric line for Robert Kaufman.

Anna brought some of her Forage fabric to a retreat with friends and we all took home a small bundle. With just a little bit of each fabric, Coins was the perfect quilt pattern to use. Coins is super versatile and makes a great scrap quilt.

Forage is printed on Robert Kaufman linen so I also chose a blue grey linen as the background.

Coins is part of the Quilty Love Simple Series which means it’s a super easy beginner quilt pattern.

Coins also uses all of the precut sizes. Use fat quarters, fat eighths, layer cakes, charms or even a jelly roll for the fast and easy quilt.

This grey Coins is the baby size but the pattern also includes two lap sizes, a twin size and a queen size.

The quilting on this baby quilt is done on my sewing machine. This is the first time trying something different like this. It’s straight lines using the walking foot so super easy. Quilt two lines about 1/2 inch spaced diagonally with a few inches between each set. And then repeat on the other diagonal.

Coins is available in the Quilty Love pattern shop.

Materials:
Forage fabric by Noodlehead for Robert Kaufman
Background: Essex Linen
Quilted and pieced on a Janome MC6700p

Autumnville Quilt by Thimbleblossoms

I have a fun one to share with you today. I made this Autumville quilt last fall so let’s get it on the blog before this current fall is over!

Every once in a while I feel the need to make a quilt using a quilt pattern that isn’t mine…ha. It feels good to take a break from figuring out the math and just follow someone else’s. Last fall this Autumville quilt pattern by Thimbleblossoms was just that quilt.

This quilt was such a fun one to make! It has a lot of different blocks and a lot of different piecing but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a very satisfying quilt to make. The best part… I pulled all of the fabrics from my stash! They are an assortment of reds, oranges, aquas, greens and polka dots.

This quilt is huge! But I wanted to tackle the quilting myself. I find that really satisfying too ;). And oh my goodness, I’m remembering that I was very pregnant in that photo above…lol.

This Autumville quilt is quilted on a Janome MC6700p using the wavy (serpentine) stitch. It’s quilted just like you would quilt straight lines and the stitch does all of the work. If you have been following along for a while you know it’s my go-to when I quilt my own quilts. It’s the same method as this quilting tutorial.

This is the first medallion style quilt I’ve ever made and it sure was fun! I really enjoyed all of the different blocks that went into this one. That center star is especially pretty!

And the pumpkin blocks.. those are cute too!

To keep this fall quilt nice and cozy, I backed it in this red polka dot flannel by Bonnie and Camille. This is a warm one!!

I was a little nervous quilting this one since it is so big! But I tell you what, that Janome MC6700p is a dream. There wasn’t a single pucker or even any loose fabric for that matter. I know this machine is amazing but it still surprised me with this one since it’s so big and so heavy with the flannel.

So pretty right!? This Autumnville quilt pattern can be found in Camille’s shop.

Materials:
White: Kona Cotton Snow
Assorted fabrics and scraps from my stash
Polka dots: Bonnie and Camille Handmade dots
Binding: Kona Cotton Silver
Batting: Warm and White
Spray basted with 505
Pieced and quilted on a Janome MC6700p
Backing: Red flannel polka dot
