Patrice's Crumb Quilts

Patrice made two great scrappy quilts in an effort to work through her scraps and stash.  She tells me it doesn't feel like these made much of a dent.

Crumb blocks are a great way to use up all those odds and ends.  We added the Soho pantograph which is a pantograph in my collection that seems to look great on almost anything.

I love the bold red and blue background fabrics on this one.

The second has a totally different feel with the grey background and fun green backing.

We added Patrice's favorite Gingersnap pantograph and So Fine #515 Patio Green thread on this one that played nicely with all of the fabrics.

Lori's Christmas I Spy

Lori amassed an amazing collection of novelty Christmas fabrics to put this quilt together.  It has an "I Spy" feel to it.

The gift bow fabric was one of my favorites!  I added the Gingersnap pantograph in a shiny grey thread to give it a silver feel without using anything metallic.

So many fun fabrics to enjoy!

 

Eileen's Color Value Mystery

Eileen made this quilt as part of the Canuck Quilter's 2025 Color Value Mystery quilt along.  The pattern is now available for purchase under the name Evening Light.  

Eileen pulled all of the fabrics from her stash  (even the backing) and hoped for the best as you always have to do with a mystery quilt.  I think it all came together really well.

Eileen chose the Gingersanp pantograph.  The circles in the pantograph echo the circles in a few of her fabric prints and tie things together very nicely.

 

Rosie Glow

Joanne and her sister Patrice made this quilt when Joanne was in town for a visit.  The pattern is called Rosie Glow and was found in Best Weekend Quilts 2013.

Joanne knew exactly how she wanted it quilted.  The Gingersnap pantograph in the body of the quilt, and the borders quilted like they were in the magazine. 

Joanne opted to have Marion finish the binding before it was returned, so it is just ready to enjoy!

4 for Patrice

I was lucky enough to quilt 4 projects for Patrice over the last little while.  First up is the cheerful quilt with a tropical vibe.  Patrice chose a really good pattern to show off the focus fabric that she loves.

Patrice selected the Gingersnap pantograph for this one.

The bright backing was a great addition to the project.

Next up is a quilted shawl that Patrice was making as a gift for a friend.  She added a gorgeous purple flannel for the backing to make it extra cozy.  The small scale Soho pantograph added some nice movement to this project.

Patrice dug into her scraps for the next two quilts.  First up is the Dots and Dashes quilt and you can find the free tutorial for this one here,

Patrice chose the larger scale Soho pantograph and the curves work well against all the squares in the pattern.

Using up fun fabrics from her stash to piece the backing too.

Patrice said this was one of her favorite scrappy quilts that she has ever made.  She enjoyed digging in her stash and finding coordinating fabrics to piece the blocks.  Once again the Soho pantograph was a great fit.

And again, some creative piecing to make some coordinating fabric work for the backing.

 

Val's Twist on Simply Dashing

This is Val's unique interpretation of our Highway 10 Designs Simply Dashing pattern.  The pattern is written as a two fabric quilt that utilizes strip piecing for a fast and easy finish.

  Val made it her own by starting with some ombre fat quarters and doing a whole lot of organizing and planning along the way.  It is great to see quilters take your pattern and run with their own vision.

Val chose the Gingersnap pantograph and a vibrant orange thread to add to the fun and match her backing.

 

Petal Junction - Date Night

Reneta made the lovely quilt for her daughter to give to some special friends who are getting married.  The pattern is Petal Junction from Highway 10 Designs.

The quilt was made entirely from the Date Night collection from Basic Grey for Moda.  Reneta used the lights creams and greys for scrappy background and the darker prints in the remainder of the quilt.  The classic neutral palette is perfect for a modern young couple.

Reneta selcted the Gingersnap pantograph pantograph for a clean finish.

 

South Cross & Old Market Square

Barb brought a pair of quilts that are both patterns from Erin at The Blanket Statement.  First up is the South Cross quilt which is the newest Blanket Statement pattern.  

Barb selected the Gingersnap pantograph and a chorcoal grey thread.  We opted for Quilter's Dream black poly batting for this one as it had a solid back backing. 

Barb also brought this Old Market Square quilt.  She wanted to keep a really clean and modern feel so we opted for organically spaced straight lines. The black batting didn't look great when placed under the Natural Kona fabric so we used Quilters Dream Blend instead to keep the colour clear and bright.
