Two Scrappy Quilts From Wendy

Wendy brought two scrappy quilts that feature some great bold and bright fabrics from her stash.  The first is Wendy's take on the Mochi quilt pattern from Beyond the Reef.

We settled on the Good Vibrations pantograph which adds some movement but keeps things clean and modern with the quilting.

A cozy Fireside backing finished this off perfectly.

This second quilt is made entirely out of beautiful batik fabric.  The pattern is called Sonja's Windows.  I believe it was originally feature in a McCall's quilting magazine in 2009, but is now available on Etsy as a standalone pattern.  

Wendy selected the Soho pantograph and a great shiny purple thread.  I absolutely love the Fireside backing.  Just my color!

Yvonne's Good Vibrations

I recently had the pleasure of quilting this beautiful version our Highway 10 Designs pattern - "Good Vibrations".  Yvonne used the "Great Lakes" colorway of the Cantik Batiks  Gemfive strips for the quilt.  She found the borders in her stash and the end product is just stunning.

Yvonne selected the "Breath of the gods" panto and a blue Stonehenge wide backing that I had available.

Good Vibrations is available as a pdf download or in traditional paper format in our Etsy store.  Or ask your local quilt store about it as our patterns are available in in Canada through Quilt Source Canada and in the USA and internationally through Checker Distributors.

Good Vibrations!

I am really excited to introduce the new pattern from Highway 10 Designs called Good Vibrations.  The pattern utilizes 5” x width of fabric strips that can come from your stash or be purchased as precuts.  We used Cantik Batik Gem Fives. The large quilt uses two bundles and is featured on the cover in the Nunavut colorway.  The smaller version uses one bundle and you can see it below in the Great Lakes colorway.


While we were developing the pattern Kathy made a sample from her batik stash and you can see it over at Tamarack Shack. 


Kathy and I design our patterns across the miles between Flin Flon and Dauphin, but we were lucky to meet in “the middle” at Fabriculous in Swan River this summer and we got to test the pattern and sew the cover quilt together.  I took it home to quilt it, and Kathy took it back to bind and photograph it.  It was really a fun joint effort.


Good Vibrations really didn’t call for any elaborate quilting. The Ebb and Flow pantograph was run vertically instead of horizontally like it normally is.  It had a very pleasing feel in that orientation.  I had one remaining piece of this Stonehenge backing fabric that was the perfect compliment to the front of the quilt.


Kathy used the Bora Bora pantograph on the smaller quilt and it gives a different feel that compliments the colors well.




Good Vibrations is available in paper or pdf format from our Highway 10 Designs Etsy store or ask your local quilt store owner to bring it in for you!
