Rings of Diamonds Quilt Pattern.

This quilt starts from the most basic of building blocks: triangles which are laid out in an orderly  manner and form  a simple, dignified pattern from which emerges a menagerie of interlocking geometric shapes — diamonds, starbursts, chains of rings. Concentrating on rich colors and textures, you can choose to use subdued and elegant florals, bold and bright modern prints, or anything in between.

Finished quilt measures 60 inches (152 cm) square.

{mini} Modern Rose Garden Quilt Pattern.

A favorite of mine, Modern Rose Garden, has been reinterpreted in three different sizes perfect for decorating a little one’s world: a crib-size quilt, a smaller size perfect for a baby, and a third doll-sized pattern so that your wee one’s toys can match them! Make whichever one suits your fancy, or all three for a themed look.

Inspired in part by the art of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, the {mini} Modern Rose Garden quilts begin with simple rectangles and compose them into eye-catching formal gardens of interlocking lines. They can be brought alive with nearly any fabric collection – and, if you’re willing to fussy cut, can beautifully highlight any designs they feature, large or small. We use Pop Garden by Heather Bailey, but you can use whatever fabric catches your fancy, whether modern or traditional – or you can use whatever scraps you’ve collected from previous quilts!

Finished quilts measure:
Crib: 56 x 42 inches (142 x 107 cm)
Baby: 42 x 32 inches (107 x 81 cm)
Doll: 18 x 22 inches (46 x 56 cm)

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? This timeless children’s classic by Eric Carle explores the forest one gentle animal at a time as little eyes move from the brown bear, to the red bird, to the yellow duck, and on through the goldfish and teacher. Now, twenty-five years later, a new collection from Andover Fabrics lets us bring the magic of this paper-collage forest to the living room as a quilt! This quilt pattern captures the myriad characters of the book, peeking out through the random blocks of a geometric forest, letting a young gaze once again roam from one animal to the next, hiding amidst the bright watercolor and fingerpaint textures of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Brown Bear fabrics should be in stores in December.  You can pre-order them here.

Finished quilt measures 55 x 40 inches (140 x 102 cm).

Ordered Chaos Patchwork Quilt Pattern.

This quilt is a study in coherent chaos and balanced scrappiness. Its long lines and almost spiral arrangement draw the eye through a mixture of fine detail and large spans of prints. This makes it perfect as a showcase for your favorite prints, be they abstract or traditional, as it can show off those tiny details and also highlight large prints and panels like paintings in a gallery.

Finished quilt measures 60 x 50 inches (152 x 127 cm).

Off Your Rocker Wacky Log Cabin Quilt Pattern.

One glance and you’ll see that this traditional log cabin quilt isn’t quite … right. Perhaps it’s been built on shaky ground, or perhaps it’s spiraling up from a looney animated world into our own, but either way, this new spin on an old favorite is a lot of fun! Create one of the curviest quilts you can make while sewing only straight lines! Whether you end up with a quilt that is abstract and thought-provoking or zany and playful depends only on the fabrics you chose.

Finished quilt measures 53 x 66 inches (134 x 167 cm).

Scrappy Circles Quilt pattern now available on Etsy.

This scrappy quilt takes dozens of fabrics, swirled and mixed together in a flock of whirlpools with just enough order and symmetry to look deliriously chaotic without being messy, and just abstract enough that as you gaze at it you start to see rosebuds, or fantastic clockwork, or ripples in an autumn pond.

Finished quilt measures 44 inches (112 cm) square.

Looking for Breakfast - A Quilt Pattern featuring The Very Hungry Caterpillar Fabrics now for sale on Etsy.

This is my first (of many, I hope) patterns. I design a lot of my quilts but have never produced them into patterns… until now. Sean thinks I should write something about the whole process here but my brain is just dead and my house is a mess because I’ve spent the last week working on this constantly along with the all the quilts for my shop. So I really have nothing creative to say.

This colorful and whimsical quilt pattern features “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” fabric collection by Andover Fabrics, which captures the beautiful illustrations and characters from this classic Eric Carle children’s book. Highlighting the panels and incorporating the foods, numbers, and bright illustrations winding and weaving together in random directions, the quilt conveys the essence of the playful tale. The size is perfect for your lap, a crib, or to stretch out on the floor for an impromptu Caterpillar Play Time! Using straight lines and rectangular pieces, this quilt is straightforward to assemble, but the result looks anything but simple! Finished quilt measures 42 x 56 inches (107 x 142 cm).
