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.

Confetti Ombre Gems Quilt Pattern – A colorful rainbow quilt

Good morning! I can’t believe this Confetti Ombre Gems quilt hasn’t made it up on the blog yet! This is the quilt I finished during the last Ombre Gems quilt along.

Did you know we are starting up the next Ombre Gems Quilt Along in October!?

Ombre Gems is one of the most popular Quilty Love patterns and it’s definitely the most colorful one! It uses the VandCo ombre fabrics. The quilt uses 20 different fat quarters or quarter yards and makes for the prettiest ombre quilt.

I used the regular ombre fabrics for the original Ombre Gems quilt so this time I went with the confetti ombre. The metallic dots in the fabrics add some sparkle to this rainbow quilt 🙂

This confetti Ombre Gems quilt is a generous throw size quilt. I’ve quilted it myself in the past but this time I sent it out to Kaitlyn of Knot and Thread.

She quilted this simple wave pattern to keep it fresh and modern. I’m pretty sure every single quilt looks good with this wavy stitch. It’s definitely my go-to long arm quilting design.

Purchase the pattern

Ombre Gems is an intermediate quilt pattern. The pattern includes instructions for a generous sized throw and a smaller throw. This rainbow quilt goes together with traditional piecing.

The quilt pattern includes the exact layout when using the 20 original VandCo ombre colors. So no need to ghttps://www.quiltylove.com/ombresuess the placement of each block. The pattern copies this version exactly.

Or use the newer VandCo ombre colors and mix it up to create your own version! I’m excited to do just that this fall during the quilt along.
